Small Scale DSSC Panels Design and Its Performance
Abstract
This study reports an effort to design dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) panels. The panel was proposed using a TiO2 layer, dye, electrolyte and counter electrode. TiO2 layer was deposited on FTO glass by using spray methods then it was heated on the furnace for 45 minutes. We applied ruthenium dye (N719), iodolyte and platinum as a counter electrode. Performance of solar cells was characterized by solar illumination using a multimeter. The solar’s intensity was measured by using a solar power meter. It was found the efficiency and fill factor of DSSC about 2.08% and 0.80, respectively. This study can be scaled up then applying in daily life.
