One of the important research directions in the field of photovoltaics is integration with construction. The integration of solar cell systems with a building can reduce installation costs and help optimize the used space. Among the few literature reports on photovoltaic roof tiles, solutions with silicon and thin film solar cells dominate. An interesting solution may be the application of dye-sensitized solar cells. In addition to their interesting properties, they also have aesthetic value. In the classic arrangement, they are constructed using glass with a transparent conductive layer (TCL). This article describes replacing a classic glass counter electrode with an electrode based on a ceramic tile and nickel foil. First, a continuous and homogeneous fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) thin film was developed so that the above-mentioned substrate could be applied. The atomization method was used for this purpose. Then, nanocolloidal platinum paste was deposited as a catalytic material using the screen printing method. The electrical parameters of the manufactured DSSCs with and without a counter electrode tile were characterized by measuring their current–voltage characteristics under standard AM 1.5 radiation. A dye-sensitized solar cell integrated with ceramic tiles and nickel foil was produced and displayed an efficiency of over 4%. This solution makes it possible to expand their construction applications. The advantage of this solution is full integration with construction, while simultaneously generating electricity. A dye-sensitized solar cell was built layer-by-layer on a ceramic tile and nickel foil.

Mangosteen Peel

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the photochemical electrical cells consisting of a photoelectrode, dye, electrolyte, and counter electrode. The manufacture of prototype Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) utilizes carotene from the dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana). This study aims to create a Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and know the efficiency it produces. This Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) consists of a pair of FTO (Flour-doped in oxide) glass intercepts facing each other. The glass acts as an electrode and counter electrode and separated by a redox electrolyte (I- / I3-), arranged to flank each other to form a wafer. In the electrode, is deposited a porous nanocrystalline TiO2 layer, as well as dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana). While on the counter electrode coated with a layer of platinum. This article presents some experimental data on absorbance properties and the conductivity of dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana) as an application in DSSC. Absorbance test using Spectrophotometer UV Visible 1601 PC and electrical properties test using Elkahfi 100 / Meter I-V. DSSC fabrication has been done using dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana) with coating spin coating technique. The results showed that the dye extract of mangosteen peel pigment (Garnicia mangostana) had an absorbance spectrum of 380-520 nm range. From the test results using AM 1.5G solar simulator (100 mW / cm2), it was found that the volume of TiO2 precursors affected the performance of DSSC solar cells and the overall conversion efficiency was 0.092%.
