摘要: Abstract - The performance of a Dye-Sensitized Solar Module (DSSM) active area 175.12 cm 2 has been investigated at tropical climate located 1.28˚S, 35.81˚E. Outdoor current density-voltage ( J-V ) characterizations were carried out different AM values. DSSM’s parameters; short circuit density J sc ), open voltage V oc fill factor FF and solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency η extracted from the characteristics. reduced linearly by 2.05% 8.31 to 8.14 as increased 1 1.09. 26.06% 1.04 x 10 -3 Acm -2 7.69 -4 19.05% 0.51 0.63 32.77% 1.77% 1.19% DSSM performed better during afternoon than morning hours. results may be useful in tuning Cells (DSSCs) meant for use tropics. design Net Zero Energy (NZE) buildings tropics can also benefit these findings.
