Eco Investor Forum 19 October 2010 Richard Caldwell, Chairman

2 What is Dye Solar Cell Technology?
Company Overview Summary What is Dye Solar Cell Technology? Founded 2004 (technology developed over previous 14 years) ASX listing date (DYE) 31st August 2005 (also trades on the German 3rd Market) Headquarters Queanbeyan NSW, Australia Vision “To be the leader in development and supply of 3rd generation solar cell technology.” Business model Global partnering program Focus on key 4 market sectors: Steel BIPV glass / window BIPV Automotive/ flexibles electronic applications Products / Services / Markets DSC prototyping and testing equipment All DSC Materials - dyes, pastes, conductors and electrolytes Components for DSC products Consulting and training services Collaborative and contract R&D DSC Manufacturing solutions Dye solar cell technology (DSC; also known as dye-sensitised solar cells – DSSC, or Graetzel cells) originated from research by Professor Michael Graetzel at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland 2010 Millennium Prize Emulates photosynthesis: leaf structure replaced by a porous titania nano-structure chlorophyll replaced by a long-life dye energy circuit completed by a redox couple Photosynthesis in Plants Lower cost and embodied energy in manufacture Stable maximum power output in all light conditions Good temperature stability Can be incorporated into buildings through roofs walls and glass panels rather than taking up extra land area No toxic emissions in manufacturing Potential for rapid efficiency enhancement DSC – Artificial Photosynthesis

3 Business Model Control of material inputs and next generation technology leadership Risk mitigation: proven technology low capital expenditure external validation risk sharing with best-in-class manufacturing partners IP protection significant access to non-dilutive funding Building Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) provides access to $multi-billion target markets Diversification: Steel Glass Automotive Electronics

4 Key Strategic Partners
Market Region Details Steel / wall & roof applications UK/Global Fifth largest steel producer in the world Co-develop and commercialise DSC on coil-coated steel ₤10 million joint-programme under the Welsh Assembly Government (WAG) contract Production and distribution forecast by FY 2012 Materials supply Germany/ Global World leader in development and manufacture of ionic liquids and electrolytes Co-develop electrolytes for use in DSC View and non-view glass applications US/Global Part of NSG Group, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of glass and glazing products for building, automotive and specialty glass markets Co-develop and commercialise DSC on view and non-view glass, utilising Pilkington’s TEC series of transparent conductive oxide (TCO) coated float glass and Dyesol’s DSC materials Establish glass prototype facility in Toledo, Ohio within next 12 months with proposed funding by Ohio State Third Frontier Fund Singapore Aerospace Manufacturing (SAM) Engineering and Process Solutions Singapore/ Global Co-develop proto-type manufacturing facilities for use by Dyesol applications partners Owned by Singapore Government Instrumental in controlling DSC “know-how” Global Big Six car manufacturer (to be announced shortly) Automotive Germany Major auto project to be announced within next 12 months Dyesol Automotive Bavaria formed in Jan 2010

5 The Next 12 Months? Materials supply: establish robust supply chain in dyes, pastes and electrolytes (e.g. Merck) SAM: establish Singapore government funded pilot plant Dyesol-Timo: first commercial product Corus: complete milestones, commence beta testing (scale-up) & negotiate commercialisation arrangements Pilkington: confirm Ohio State funding & establish glass prototype facility in Toledo, Ohio Automotive: announce significant, state funded auto project and establish leverage for SureVolt technology into broader built environment

Richard Caldwell Executive Chairman Founded Sustainable Technologies Australia (STA) (forerunner of Dyesol) in 1994 Pivotal in the development of DSC globally Internationally recognised technical expertise in technical ceramics, materials science and manufacturing engineering Gavin Tulloch Director -Technology Founding Managing Director, formally Joint Managing Director of STA Inventor of several of Dyesol’s patents Materials scientist with over 25 years experience in establishment and management of technology commercialisation and business development

7 Investment Highlights
Large scale dye solar cell (DSC) technology Proven 3rd generation solar technology Favourable industry dynamics Partnerships with top tier commercial and technology players Strong management team Revenue traction Focus on specialist input materials for built environment - large scale roof, window and glass façade applications Professor Graetzel wins Millennium Technology Award 2010 for DSC Generation of electricity under wide range of light conditions and applications (direct and indirect sunlight on roofs, windows and glass façades) Cost efficiency: payback time 2-3x better than current best solar technology Low impact on environment (e.g. no toxicity, minimal remediation risk) Solar expected to generate ~1% of global energy needs by % p.a. growth to 2020(1) Introduction of carbon and waste costs (e.g. ETS) will improve solar’s competitiveness Large-scale DSC expected to be competitive with coal, gas and nuclear in regions with high transmission costs Tata-Corus (UK): #2 European coated roofing manufacturer Merck (Global): #1 global manufacturer of ionic solutions Pilkington (US): leading global auto/building glass manufacture Singapore Aerospace Manufacturing: excellence in equipment & engineering solutions Excluding grants, revenue grew 31.5% from $1.9m in FY08 to $2.5m in FY09 CAGR of 20.3% since FY07 Board has good mix of financial, commercial and international experience Management team includes leading scientists, engineers and technologists (1) US Energy Information Administration
