Influence of the Cell Temperature on the Performance of a Dye Sensitized Solar Cell

Abstract

A great deal of acts have been done for the renewable and green energy to fulfil the global energy demand. The European Union has been working on reducing the carbon-dioxide emission and increasing the available renewable sources of energy. It seems that solar energy is a forward-looking option. According to Michael Grätzel, Dye Sensitized Solar Cell will be a breakthrough concept for energy demand. Although renewable energy is not a fully new concept nowadays, there is a continuous improvment in this field. This article illustrates the maximum power point of an unknown Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (whose inventor is Michael Crätzel) based on cell temperature and using different color filter films.
