Abstract

Dye Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSC) is broadly regarded as the more promising third generation photovoltaic (solar) technology. These cells are the closest mankind has come to replicating nature’s photosynthesis. Paying homage to its inventor Professor Michael Gräetzel we call it GCell. With regard to advantages A dye-sensitized solar cell including low-cost, Low-light performance, Optimised performance, Higher temperature performance, Low energy manufacturing process, Ecologically friendly solar and etc Study of these technology Seem is essential. A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC, DSC or DYSC) is the group of thin film solar cells. It is based on a semiconductor formed between a photo-sensitized anode and an electrolyte, a photoelectron chemical system. In this paper will review the advantages, disadvantages, applications and future of natural dye sensitized solar cells.
