Advantages of DSSC

The advantages of DSSC compared to other solar electrical generation are that DSSC has a high price/performance ratio, which means it is less expensive to make; it is also light and mechanically robust due to its materials’ properties. With its ultra thin profile, the cells can be made into different shapes to meet specific needs, such as curved or other creative designs. And due to its robustness, DSSCs maintain its efficiency at high temperatures as well. The DSSCs have efficiency between 10%-11%, higher than other thin-film solar panels having efficiency of 5%- 13% in average. What makes it even more attractive is that they work even in low-light conditions, such as during cloudy weather where there is non-direct sunlight.
