Description
This experiment was done to compare the efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells with normal silicon based solar cells. 

Instructions preview
1. For this experiment, the independent variable is the type of solar cell, a dye-sensitized solar cell or a silicon based solar cell. The dependent variable is the open circuit voltage and short circuit current of the solar cells. This is determined by measuring the voltage and current (amperes). The constants (control variables) are the dimensions of the solar cell, the use of raspberry juice and the amount of sunlight. 2. The dye-sensitized solar cell is assembled as follows : a. Clean the first glass plate with ethanol. Determine the side of the glass that conducts using the multimeter .....
