Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell performance measurement analysis using Arduino Board

Abstract

Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell is a type of solar cell that is being developed by researchers around the world. The purpose of this research is to analyse the performance measurement of DSSC using Arduino Nano. The DSSC used as the sample is the result of fabrication with the pipette method and red fruit colouring material. The data measurement method is carried out in real-time using Arduino nano devices and sensors that have been assembled. The measurement results are presented in the form of graphs and tables, while the parameters measured include intensity, current, and voltage. While power is the current and voltage values, efficiency is the ratio between the input and output values. The value of the test results shows the maximum voltage value is 0.020 V, the current is 1.800 A, power is 0.036 W/m2, and efficiency is 0.007%.
