We report on the sensitization of a novel dye and fabrication and characterization of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using the novel dye. The novel dye was tested for solar cell applications and the DSSCs fabricated with this dye were compared with DSSCs based on commercially available N719 and Ruthenium/5DN (Z-907) dyes. The devices fabricated with 2, 4 DFP dye shows efficiency of 0.90% while similar devices based on N-719 dye and Z-907 dye exhibit 3.005% and 6.59% respectively. The open circuit voltage of devices based on the novel dye is comparable to N719 dye and gives fill factor of about 73% (highest among the fabricated solar cells), which shows high quality of the devices based on novel dye
