    Abstract: Dye Sensitized solar cells were made using two locally available plants, Damakase (Ocimum lamiifolium) and Dambursa (New plant) used to extract the natural dye. The pigment was extracted using four solvents, ethanol, methanol, 0.1M hydrochloric acids and distilled water. Then to construct the DSSCs indium tin oxide immersed in the natural dye were ...
