G24 Innovations, the first company to commercially manufacture next generation Dye-Sensitized Thin Film solar cells, Monday said Morgan Stanley Principal Investments has invested $20 million in the company. The investment comes in the form of newly issued ordinary shares and gives MSPI a minority stake in the company and the right to appoint a director to the board.

Corus, Dyesol and the Welsh Assembly Government have agreed significant funding to further progress the development of dye solar cell technology on steel for building integrated photovoltaic applications. Corus and Dyesol have been working closely for the past two years, and in January 2008 successfully completed a detailed 12-month study, which confirmed the feasibility of this technology for large-scale manufacture on steel.

A COMPANY which manufactures next-generation solar technology has signed a research and development agreement with Cardiff University. Cardiff-based G24i has reached a deal with the university’s school of engineering that will allow it to access the facilities. G24i’s Dye Sensitised Thin Film combines innovative material science and nanotechnology to generate renewable power in a process similar to photosynthesis.
