Abstract

This study is aimed to obtain optimal active area producing high efficiency of DSSC module. The DSSC structure is constructed of TiO₂ as working electrode, dye as photosensitizer, platinum as counter electrode, and electrolyte as electron transfer media. TiO₂ paste was deposited on Fluorine-doped Tin Oxide (FTO) by screen printing method. Meanwhile, platinum was also coated on FTO via brush painting method. Keithley I-V meter was performed to characterize DSSC electrical property. The active area of each cell was varied of 4.5 cm², 9 cm², and 13.5 cm². Each cell was assembled into a module using an external series connection of Z type. The module was consisted of 12 cells, 6 cells, and 4 cells with module active area of 54 cm². The optimal active area of DSSC cell is 4.5 cm² resulting 0.4149% efficiency. In addition, the highest efficiency of DSSC module is 0.2234% acquired by 6 cells assembling.
