Abstract: The DSSC (dye-sensitized solar cell) is a photo electrochemical solar cell using redox mediator to transport electrons and become an attractive alternative to the widely used Si-based solar cell due to its low processing cost, ease of fabrication, moderate efficiency, and economical friendly. In this work DSSCs were fabricated using berry and watermelon as dye. Our results shows that DSSC with berry have higher efficiency than one with watermelon. The open circuit voltage (Voc), short circuit current, fill factors (FF), maximum power point (PMPP) and efficiency (η) for these cells were obtained and analyzed. The efficiencies for these cells are below prohibitive efficiency and this could be as a result of using ordinary glass because there were no availability of FTO. Further research work is ongoing with the use of FTO and comparative analysis will be carry out.
