  SolarPrint to create 80 Dublin jobs

  Solar cell technology company, SolarPrint, today opened its new European headquarters in Dublin that will see the creation of 80 new jobs.
  
  The company is currently patenting its technologies and will open its first high volume manufacturing line next year in Dublin.
  
  SolarPrint specialises in the development of dye sensitised solar cell (DSSC) technology, which is used to convert light to energy.
  
  SolarPrint was established in 2008 by Dr. Mazhar Bari, Chief Executive Officer, Andre Fernon, Chief Financial Officer and Roy Horgan, Business Development Director. It has devised a unique form of DSSC technology that can be developed to convert light to energy at a lower cost than other forms of photovoltaic technologies.
  
  The company is currently recruiting for the new positions, which will be based in Dublin and which will be highly skilled roles requiring personnel with exceptional qualifications in the fields of chemistry, electrical engineering, physics and material sciences.
  
  SolarPrint also plans to hire staff for commercial and financial roles to support its expansion plans.
  
  The company currently employs 20 staff but this number is set to rise to 100 by the end of 2012.
  
  Officially opening SolarPrint's new headquarters in Dublin, Minister Batt O'Keeffe said the firm has an exciting business plan which will generate 80 new jobs by focusing on product innovation in the fast-growing energy technology sector.
  
  "Ireland is now recognised internationally as a top incubator for product innovation. SolarPrint's ambitious expansion plans demonstrate that we have the right mix of pro-business taxation policies, high-potential enterprise supports and talented workforce to enable firms to create products and services for worldwide consumption," said Minister O'Keeffe.
