This paper presents a methodology to numerically investigate the influence of design and operating parameters on the performance of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). A one-dimensional steady-state model of the DSSC coupled with a model to predict global irradiance on a terrestrial surface is utilized to analyze the performance of a DSSC installation. Hourly, daily, monthly and annual performance of a DSSC installation is systematically analyzed over a wide range of design and operating parameters and the optimum configuration is identified with the objective of maximizing the power density. Overall, this paper illustrates a methodology to ascertain the optimal design and operating configurations of a DSSC which can be extended to any terrain.
