Abstract

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) offer advantages such as low production costs, simple fabrication methods, and reduced toxicity compared to silicon-based solar cells, although their efficiency remains a major limitation. The aim of this review is to discuss the fundamental principles of DSSCs and evaluate the electrochemical techniques used to optimize their performance. The method employed is a narrative literature review, allowing the author to synthesize relevant literature from various sources. Current-voltage (I-V) measurements and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) are identified as the primary tools for assessing DSSC efficiency and quality. The findings indicate that I-V measurements provide critical metrics such as efficiency and fill factor, while EIS helps identify charge transfer resistance and improves cell stability. Techniques such as voltammetry and Tafel polarization plots offer additional insights into catalytic activity and diffusivity. This review underscores the importance of electrochemical characterization in supporting efficiency improvements and the development of new materials, with EIS playing a key role in modelling cell morphology through equivalent circuit analysis.

Abstract

The utilization of solar energy as a renewable energy source has become a priority in supporting sustainable energy transitions in Indonesia. This study analyzes the potential for installing rooftop solar power plants (PLTS) in office buildings, universities, and hotels in Magelang City. The research method involves measuring roof areas using Google Maps imagery and simulating energy production through the Global Solar Atlas. The analysis indicates that with a 20% utilization rate of potential roof areas, the corresponding installed capacity can reach 230.720–333.560 kWp. Energy production estimates show outputs of up to 11,000 kWh/month for an 80 kWp capacity. These findings underscore Magelang City's potential to support renewable energy transitions through multi-faceted collaboration. This study provides a foundation for developing sustainable energy policies in urban areas.
