For a sustainable future it is important to use Earth’s resources efficiently. One way is by using renewable energy, and is referred to as the energy generated from natural resources that can be replenished naturally, such as sunlight, wind, rain, and geothermal heat.
Sun is one of the easiest accessible sources in the world, producing large amount of solar energy with abundant supply. Electricity can be produced through solar photovoltaic (PV), a phenomenon involving the conversion of sunlight into electrical energy via solar cell. This PV technology, or referred to as solar cell technology, has attracted attentions because of environmental friendliness, lower fabrication costs, and promising energy conversion efficiency.
Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) is the 3rd generation of solar cell technology from the group of thin film solar cells. Electricity is generated by illuminating photosensitive, organic dyes at oxide electrodes in electrochemical cells. In recent years, the development of DSSC, techniques have been studied extensively in laboratory researches with major improvement in the working electrodes, counter electrodes, dye types and experiment improvement. This study is to analyze factors towards the manufacture and future commercialization of DSSC solar cell in PV industry.
This research aims to analyze responses to identify the critical success factors for the solar cell industry to promote and commercialize DSSC, Dye Sensitized Solar Cells. Besides the interviews with investors and installers, a survey called “Solar Cell Technologies, Future Commercialization and Trends” is also conducted. Factors were selected and analyze towards efficiency, manufacturing, stability, cost and environment. Out of the response from individuals involved in this type of industry and research, success factors for future commercialization of DSSC were identified base on the average of response from the observers. Seven high ranked average factors were identified as to be more important and concluded that efficiency is critical. Efficiency should ranked between 20%-30% for future commercialization of DSSC. For a good efficiency in the cell, the quality of the material is important and the synthesize of the material in the cell is important, for manufacturing, the process technique is important and the simplicity in the manufacturing process is important, for the stability of the cell, the lifetime is important, and the environment temperature surrounding the cell is important. .
