The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the increasing demand for sustainable energy

solutions have driven the development of renewable energy technologies Among these, dye-
sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have emerged as a promising alternative due to their affordability,

environmental friendliness, and adaptability in various lighting conditions. This study explores the
fabrication of DSSC modules utilizing natural dyes extracted from sweet pomegranate and spinach
through a co-sensitization approach Anthocyanin is procured using the maceration extraction
process, while chlorophyll is extracted using pestle-based techniques with organic solvents. The
research aims to optimize the performance of DSSCs by investigating the effects of dye
concentration, absorption properties, and cell configuration on energy conversion efficiency.
Experimental results will focus on evaluating key performance parameters such as open-circuit
voltage, short-circuit current, and power output. This study contributes to the growing body of
knowledge in renewable energy, offering an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative for solar
energy harvesting while promoting sustainable practices through the use of natural pigments.
