Reliability performance of up-scaling DSSC into sub-module in series design using hermetic sealing

Dye-sensitized solar sub-module has been prepared as a practical application of DSSC. TiO2 paste was deposited onto the 3.3 cm × 5 cm FTO glass by screen printing method consisting of two active cells with a dimension of 1 cm × 5 cm for each cell. The sub-module was assembled using two parts (part A...

Description
Summary:Dye-sensitized solar sub-module has been prepared as a practical application of DSSC. TiO2 paste was deposited onto the 3.3 cm × 5 cm FTO glass by screen printing method consisting of two active cells with a dimension of 1 cm × 5 cm for each cell. The sub-module was assembled using two parts (part A and part B) hermetic sealing compound as a sealant. The performance of the sub-module was then observed using two independent measurements in the span of six days using sun simulator. Photovoltaic effect was properly occurred as indicated by the I-V curve for both of sub-module. First test showed that the sub-module with hermetic sealant has good performance with the highest efficiency of 2.9%. Meanwhile, the second test showed significant decrease of the sub-module performance with the highest efficiency of 1.43%.
