Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to develop three Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs) and determine whether varying concentrations of anthocyanin dyes derived from fruits will increase or decrease the cells' efficiency. The concentrations will be determined using spectroscopy methods and several equations derived from Beer's law. Additionally, the solar cells will be tested at multiple angles and under varying light conditions to maximize results.
