Abstract

Using solar power is one of the most important challenge of today technology. A big effort is devoted in going beyond traditional semiconductor, especially silicon based, solar cells. A well established and promising technology is represented by electrochemical dye solar cells (DSC). Their functioning is a complicated interplay of different parts deeply interconnected which requires a model able to catch the whole device and the different processes at the same time. We develop an extension to the TiberCAD [1] code to simulate such kind of devices.
