Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) – The Future of Solar Energy
HOOK
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are a promising alternative to traditional solar panels – flexible, colorful, and cost-effective.
HISTORY / ORIGIN
DSSC technology was developed in 1991 by Grätzel and O'Regan. It uses photosensitive dyes to convert sunlight into electricity. The global DSSC market is experiencing steady growth.
TYPES OF DSSC
Rigid DSSC – For traditional applications.
Flexible DSSC – For wearable and portable use.
Transparent DSSC – For windows and glass.
Colorful DSSC – For architectural integration.
High-Efficiency DSSC – For performance applications.
MATERIALS / KEY FEATURES
DSSC uses dyes, electrolytes, and titanium dioxide. They are lightweight, flexible, and can be manufactured at low cost.
