Make a Graetzel Solar Cell
Produced by Solar Spark, this activity allows students to make a photovoltaic cell in the school laboratory. A solar cell uses light from the sun to produce electricity. A type of solar cell, called a dye-sensitised solar cell (DSSC), can be made. This type of cell is cheaper than other solar cells, and is now produced commercially.
The activity can be used to illustrate:
* photovoltaic cells
* energy conversions
