Next Generation Light Harvesting Technology for Wireless Sensor Applications (Energy Harvesting and Storage Europe 2011)

Dr Mazhar Bari is the co-founder and CEO of SolarPrint. He holds a PhD & MPhil in Physics from the University of Cambridge (1996), BSc(HONS) in Experimental Physics from University College Dublin (1991), and an MBA Smurfit School of Business, Dublin (2003). He holds several patents in energy materials and devices.

SolarPrint, founded in 2008 based in Dublin, Ireland. The company develops dye sensitised solar cells (DSSC), a third-generation printable solar cell technology.

 

SolarPrint's technology supports higher functionality to enable the ability to scale more power-hungry wireless solutions than possible with other solutions. When it is integrated into wireless sensors for energy harvesting purposes in buildings, DSSC provides significant cost savings by eliminating wired networks and the need to replace or lengthen the life of batteries.
