The optimum design for upscaling parallel dye-sensitized solar cell module

A numerical model of upscaling dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) module was present by using the equivalent circuit and analyzing the current distribution on the surface of the module. The reliability of the model was confirmed by experiment. In view of upscaling parallel DSC module, the performance of the module under different geometry parameters had been calculated, and the optimum design is given. The results showed that for a module with certain material and fabrication, a set of optimum geometry parameters which make the module obtain maximum total area efficiency is existed.
