• Compared to other solar cells, the titania solar cell has the following advantages:
• Much less sensitive to angle of incidence of radiation good in refracted and reflected light.
• Performs over a much wider range of light conditions due to the high internal surface of titania ("light sponge") – can be designed for operation at very low light
• Can be designed to operate optimally over a wide range of temperatures.
• Much less sensitive to a partial shadowing
• Option for transparent modules - so can be used for day-lighting, roof lighting, displays.
• DSC production needs only commonly available non vacuum processing equipment, making it vastly cheaper to set up facilities.
• DSC has significantly lower embodied energy than all other forms of solar cell
