Abstract

Solar energy conversion is today a very hot topic in order to reduce the global warming and pollution. The solar cells based on Silicon, either monocrystalline or amorphous are already on the market since many years. We will present in the paper some performance studies on a promising different type of solar cell called Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), or Grätzel cells ^{[1], [2]}. This cell presents different construction and operation principles from silicon based cells and represents a possible solution to replace them for large area or flexible panels. Being a relatively new photovoltaic solution, it is of interest to study the effect of working temperature on their voltage-current characteristic. We will present in current paper electrical measurements on DSSC prototype samples, compared with a commercial silicon cell, for different illumination levels and different temperatures. In order to summarize the results, voltage-current characteristics and the main parameters of the cells, as short circuit current, open circuit voltages, maximum power point (MPP) will be comparatively presented in the paper.
