Abstract
influence of particle size on intensity via the exponential factor of the intensity of Rayleigh scattering. The study adopted two approaches of experimental and theoretical investigations, while two sets of dye sensitive solar cells (DSCs) were employed. One set of DSCs (crude) had an organic light scattering layer attached while the second (hexane) set was without the light scattering layer. The outcome of the experiment revealed a significant increase in photovoltaic performance of DSCs which had an improvised scattering layer. The short circuit current (Isc) of P.macrophylla B. crude was 64.7% higher than that of the hexane DSCs, the open circuit voltage (Voc) of the crude DSC was more than 50% greater than the hexane DSCs. Although, hexane DSCs had a better fill factor (ff), the output performance of the crude DSCs was thrice that recorded by hexane DSCs. The implication of this study is that, theoretical models can be used for simulating optimal angles of incident in DSCs
