Perovskite sensitizer materials based solar cell (PSSC) is freshly seemed as warm topic because very soon they achieve higher efficiency (∼20%) at incident light intensity 100 mw/cm2 (1 sun condition). This paper deals the fabrication, characterization as well as application of perovskite material. Perovskite material i.e. MASnCl3(CH3NH3SnCl3) was composed by coordinate statement of equimolar convergence of CH3NH3Cl and tin SnCl2 in DMF arrangement. It was extra portrayed utilizing different characterization methods like X-Ray diffraction (XRD), UV–vis ingestion spectroscopy and Scanning electron microscope (SEM). PSSC has been fabricated utilizing methyl ammonium tri-tin chloride (CH3NH3SnCl3) perovskite and polyethylene oxide (PEO) solid polymer electrolyte(SPE)sandwiched between perovskite working electrode (WE) and platinum counter electrode (CE) and its implementation at room condition has been accounted for in this paper. The fabricated PSSC demonstrates a short out current density (Jsc) of 1.8 mA/cm2, Voc of 0.48 V, fill factor of 0.68 and efficiency (ɳ) of 0.60% at one sun condition.
