Abstract
Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSC) technology is a photovoltaic technology that mimics natural photosynthesis, categorically coming under third generation photovoltaics; while completing almost three decades since its invention, it has carved a recognizable space in the PV arena owing to its unique merits like roll-to-roll compatibility, relatively inexpensive fabrication techniques-using cheap and readily available materials, workability on flexible substrates, and excellent low/diffused light performance. Semitransparent Multi-coloured Dye Solar Panels stands as a potential candidate in the Building-Integrated Photovoltaic (BIPV) sector, while the small form-factor devices show an excellent performance in indoor/artificial light, thus paving way for the self-powered indoor light harvesting Internet of Things (IoT) applications. This chapter builds an understanding on the DSC technology from a device to module perspective, reviewing the progress in manufacturing technologies, outlining its evolution as a potential future candidate in photovoltaic sector.
