The present invention introduces a gel polymer electrolyte based dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) utilizing polyacrylonitrile (PAN). The electrolyte have a composition of PAN:EC:PC:TBP:Pr4NI:LiI:BMII:I2. The photoelectrode comprises a glass substrate, a fluorine-doped tin oxide layer adjacent to the substrate, a P90 titanium dioxide layer adjacent to the fluorine-doped tin oxide layer , and a ruthenium sensitized P25 titanium dioxide layer adjacent to the P90 titanium dioxide layer. The counter electrode comprises a glass substrate, a fluorine-doped tin oxide layer adjacent to the substrate and a platinum layer adjacent to the fluorine-doped tin oxide layer. The solar cell embodiment is connected with fifteen same solar cells to form a solar panel, said solar panel is provided with the solar cells in a parallel pair of eight solar cells in series. It was found that current of ~6.4 mA, voltage of ~5.4 V and power of ~35 mW are achieved in this arrangement when exposed under light illumination of 8 W m-2.
