【 摘 要 】

Energy crisis is what being faced by every country today. Many efforts have been devoted to overcome the problems. One of several offered solutions is to develop solar cells since solar energy is abundant and free to use. Especially in a tropical country like Indonesia, solar energy is available a whole year with quite high power 450 mWcm-2. Several types of solar cells, silicon-based solar cell has high efficiency yet has high price. Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) are a new breakthrough in solar cells with the cheaper cost than conventional solar cells. The natural ingredients could be utilized as dyes for DSSC. In this research, buni fruit extract was employed as the dye for TiO2-based DSSC. Factor levels for this research are determined by Taguchi Method. The highest voltage average of dye sensitized solar cell is 0,5 volt with the levels of influencing factor are 5: 1 for ratio of TiO2: ethyl cellulose, 5: 1 for buni extract ratio: ethanol, 1,5 g for Carbon amount, and 0,3 ml for amount of electrolyte solution. The simple calculation of the price is Rp 2.371 per 5 × 5 cm a piece of dye sensitized solar cell.
