Abstract

Sunlight possesses generated current and voltage to generate the power energy of electricity. Therefore, the fundamental measure from the solar cells procedure will be generation of light whereby must regarded how to produced the carrier. Dye-sensitized solar cell is known to be the low cost production because of the material is easily to get. Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is fabricated using the screen printing method which Melastoma Malabathricum and Cucurma Longa used as the sensitizer of the solar cell. These natural dyes were extracted without addition of any chemical because to identify the parameters or the characteristic of the solar cell. Plus, the efficiency may affect due to the reaction. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is fabricated on the indium tin oxide glass before applying the sensitizer. The highest efficiency is about 0.025% where it is a cucurma longa or turmeric sensitizer with the mesh size 200 POL and 1g titanium dioxide viscosity. The value of the Voc is equal to 337mV, Isc is equal to 0.0214mA and the fill factor = 0.86. In other hand, this report will discussed the comparison with other types of sensitizer such as raspberry and dragon fruit.
