DYE-SENSITIVE SOLAR CELL AND MODULE CONSISTING OF SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a dye-sensitive solar cell and to a module consisting of same, and more particularly, to a dye-sensitive solar cell and to a module consisting of same in which the dye-sensitive solar cell is configured such that a photoelectrode substrate and a catalyst electrode substrate are spaced apart from each other by a separating space and coupled together by an encapsulating material, and the separating space is filled with an electrolyte, wherein the electrolyte contains optical beads. Thus, light passing through the photoelectrode substrate is refracted or reflected by the optical beads, and irradiated onto the photoelectrode substrate, to thereby improve the efficiency of the solar cell. Particularly, the efficiency of a dye-sensitive solar cell for a BIPV system is more effectively improved, said system not having a scattering layer for maintaining the translucency thereof and employing the dye-sensitive solar cell of the present invention. If the optical beads are colored, solar cells with a variety of colors can be obtained, which achieves an aesthetic enhancement for a building adopting the BIPV system.
