Abstract: The continuous research in the area of renewable energy technology to substitute the unsustainable nature of fossil fuel in terms of it future availability and negative environmental impact created by fossil fuel has ensure the explore of solar energy as a good alternative. Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) serve to be a good alternative means of producing photovoltaic solar cell. This work reports the working principle and construction process of dye-sensitized solar cell. A synthesized dye (Ruthenium oxide) and an iodide electrolyte were used for better performance based on already researched work. Also, this work reports the evaluation process with results recorded by the produced solar cell within 6:00am (GMT) and 6:00pm (GMT) for selected days. The results from the evaluation process show a better performance of a dye-sensitized solar cell in low and normal sunny day. The solar cell has a good performance at 12:00noon with a 0.5V output.
