Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

RE: Topmost Candidate for PLI ?

 Dear David,

 

At the outset my apologies for not being able to respond earlier. For past 15 days, I am down with Dengue and had to be hospitalized

 

Now , I am gradually recovering at home

 

I am delighted with the progress that Kardinia is making. You will make a difference to the future of the World

 

As far as your recent dialogue with Reliance is concerned , I hope it soon materializes into a GIGA factory ( at Jamnagar ? )

 

Pl do keep me informed with further news ( re this ) which you can release in public domain . On my own , I will republish , only with your permission

 

Regards,

Dear Hemen

 

Thank you for your continued support, ongoing interest in Printed Solar and your update regarding renewable energy investment in India.  Coincidently we had a Teams meeting with Reliance Industries yesterday.

 

As you are aware, Professor Dastoor is the inventor of Printed Solar and Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Kardinia Energy Holdings Pty Ltd, the company that has been established to transition to market our organic solar cell technology, please refer to our website for further details Kardinia Energy.

 

We are currently progressing building the first large scale manufacturing plant in Newcastle, NSW, Australia with production of our first generation (1G) Printed Solar product to commence in 2025.   Thereafter we will quickly move to developing gigafactory scale plants globally.

 

We have noted your interest and will provide updates in due course.

 

Kind regards, David

Topmost Candidate for PLI  ?

 

 

Dear Shri R K Singhji

 

( Minister – MNRE / raj.ksingh@gov.in )

 

 

Your Ministry has introduced PLI ( Production Linked Incentive ) Scheme for manufacture of conventional ( Mo-Si ), Solar PV panels / modules

 

I urge you to :

 

#  Consider extending this scheme to Organic Printed Solar Film, described below

 

#  Invite Prof Paul Dastoor to set up in India, a manufacturing facility with a capacity to produce 100 million Sq

    Meter per year

 

    ( @10 Sq Meter per concrete / pucca building for 10 million buildings / This facility will

    supply all of our 30 million concrete / pucca buildings, with enough film in 3 years )

 

 

This has the potential to fulfil the commitment made by our PM Shri Modiji at COP26 in Glasgow

 

 

With regards,

 

Hemen Parekh  /  hcp@RecruitGuru.com / 20 Jan 2022

Public Debut for Printed Solar   

 

 

Extract :

 

The University of Newcastle renewable energy tech - which is,

 

#  ultra light-weight,

 

#  ultra flexible,

 

#  recyclable and

 

#  cheap to manufacture,

 

will power interactive public lighting in Sydney.

 

 

The material, similar in thickness and appearance to a chip packet, is manufactured using conventional printers.

 

 

Creator of the organic printed solar material, Physicist Professor Paul Dastoor from the Faculty of Science said his team were excited to take their ‘science to the streets’ in what represented significant progress toward commercial availability of the material.

 

 

The government is seeking to bring down carbon emissions over the next 30 years and the community has been very engaged on this subject. Globally, there are many research groups like ours working on sustainable energy technologies and now, via the technology investment roadmap, is our opportunity to ensure we invest in and deliver clever solutions,” said Professor Dastoor.

 

 

Director of the University’s Newcastle Institute for Energy and Resources (NIER)Professor Alan Broadfoot, said the University was committed to bringing the world closer to a sustainable future through its next generation resources engagement priority.

 

“The printed solar project highlights the transformational research coming out of NIER through valued partnerships with government, industry, and the community in critical areas such as new energy technologies,” said Professor Broadfoot. (alan.broadfoot@newcastle.edu.au )

 

This technology will really disrupt and revitalise the contracting print industry.

 

 

Printed solar is manufactured on conventional printers – our lab-scale system previously manufactured wine labels.

 

 

“Compared to familiar energy technologies, this material has almost a surreal quality - it’s supremely lighthyper-flexible and incredibly thin

Printed solar is cheap to manufacture, at a production cost of less than $10 per square metre and rapid to produce, with commercial scale equipment capable of producing kilometres of material a day.

 

 

“No other renewal energy technology can be manufactured as quickly. The low cost and speed at which this technology can be deployed is exciting as we need to find solutions, and quickly,” said Professor Dastoor.

 

With over 99 per cent of the panels consisting of PET, the material can be recycled - a distinct advantage over traditional silicon panels.

 

The low-cost, light weight, flexibility and durability of the material are inspiring a range of possible applications including disaster relief and recovery applications; retractable recharging systems for electric vehicles, caravans/camping and the defence industry; floating covers for dams and pools; yacht sails; smart blinds for residential and high-rise buildings; greenhouse covers and more.

 

Professor Dastoor said his goal was to coat as many surfaces as possible with the material.

 

Imagine a world where everyone has access to electricity, and where every surface can generate clean, low cost, sustainable energy from the sun. That’s a world I want to live in,” said Professor Dastoor.

Extract :

 

When painted across a roof, the cells produce enough electricity to power a household.

 

Dastoor estimates that if the 2.2 million houses in NSW were to use these cells, it would be the equivalent to an entire power station.
