The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the photochemical electrical cells consisting of a photoelectrode, dye, electrolyte, and counter electrode. The purpose of using dyes in the DSSC is to extend the absorption spectrum to visible light because visible light has about 96% energy from sunlight. This article presents some experimental data on the nature of absorbance and the conductivity of natural dyes extracted from the plant as an application in the DSSC. Absorbance test using Spectrophotometer UV Visible 1601 PC and electrical properties test using Elkahfi 100 / Meter I-V. DSSC fabrication has been done using dye extract of mangosteen skin pigment (Garcinia mangostana) with a variety of coating technique of Spin Coating and Slip Casting. The results show that natural dyes from natural material extraction have an absorbance spectrum of 380-520 nm range and the greatest conductivity is owned by mangosteen fruit skin pigment (Garcinia mangostana). From the results of the test using AM Simulator 1.5G (100 mW / cm2) diesel simulator, it was found that the volume of TiO2 precursors affected the performance of DSSC solar cells and the overall conversion efficiency was 0.084% for the mangosteen skin dye by slip casting technique and 0.092% for the mangosteen skin dye by spin coating technique.

The use of solar panels is still quite expensive in the making, for it needs to be developed solar panels are cheap based DSSC (Dye Sensitized Solar Cell). The use of DSSC is very good developed in Indonesia which is famous for its biological richness. This study used rosella flowers as photosensitizer obtained from the extraction process in the form of maceration for 24 hours. The components used to construct a DSSC outline can be divided into four parts, namely substrate, dye, semiconductor titanium dioxide (TiO2), and electrolyte. In this research the Ti O2 layer was immersed in a solution of rosella flower extract with different time variations, ie 1 hour, 2 hours, and 3 hours. Light sources used are sunlight and 150 watt halogen lamps. It was found that at 3 hours of immersion using the sunlight source was the best result of maximally current (Imax) 0.3 mA, maximum voltage (V) 582,4 mV and its efficiency 0,258%. The results obtained were lower when the DSSC was given a halogen light source, i.e. Maximum current (Imax) 0.08 mA, maximal voltage (Vmax) 125,6 mV and its efficiency 0,167%. The greater the intensity of the light illumination the greater the output power of the DSSC.The use of solar panels is still quite expensive in the making,  for it needs to be developed solar panels are cheap based DSSC (Dye Sensitized Solar Cell).
