EPFL SwissTech Convention Center : Vitrage photovoltaïque (fassade ouest)
2014 The design, by artists Daniel Schlaepfer and Catherine Bolle, utilizes panels with five different shades of
red, green and orange, giving an overall warm and dynamic look. The transparent, color solar panels are
relying on Graetzel cell technology. These dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) were invented by EPFL professor
Michael Graetzel back in 1991, and they reproduce the principles of photosynthesis in plants. funded by
