A single hybrid solar cell (SHSC) which consist of zinc oxide (ZnO) micro-rod and Poly (3-dodecylthiophene)(P3DDT) materials with nature dye from Melastomamalabathricum fruit (Mm) were fabricated to determine it electrical properties and power conversion efficiency (PCE). The ZnO microrod was growth by thermal method. P3DT was synthesis by oxidation polymerization method. Nature dye was extracted from Mm fruit in purplecolor.The fabrication of a SHSC started with growth ZnO microrodon the Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) in thin filmform, followed with P3DT layers and finally layered with Mm in 5 layers and 10 layers respectively.The SHSC wascharacterized the electrical conductivity and PCE also compared under dark condition and various light intensity. The conductivity of the samples is increase within the increment of light intensity and the efficiency of SHSC increase within the increment of layer of Mm. The highest electrical conductivity was for 10 layers of dye which is 2.678 + 0.002 Scm-1. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the ITO/ZnO/P3DDT/10 layers dye achieved was the highest which is 0.0011% under radiation of 200 Wm-2 intensity of light. As a conclusion, it can say that the amount of Mm can affect the performance of hybrid solar cell, where the dye is increased, the electrical conductivity and the PCE also increase. Thus, the Mm is a good dye and can be potential to apply in the solar cell.
