Solar cells using dyes or perovskites as light harvesters supported by mesoscopic oxide films have emerged as credible contenders to conventional p-n junction photovoltaic devices. Separating light absorption from charge carrier transport, dye sensitized mesoscopic solar cells (DSCs) were the first to use a three-dimensional nanocrystalline junction for solar electricity production. The profound knowledge developed during the last 2 decades in DSC technology enabled the stunning rise of perovskite solar cells, and the certified power conversion efficiency (PCE) of perovskite solar cells has reached 17.9% under AM 1.5G 100 mW cm-2 illumination. For the dye sensitized solar cells under ambient and indoor light conditions PCE values up to 26 % have been reached; outperforming silicon based solar cells by a large margin. These features along with excellent long-term stability have fostered first commercial applications, the industrial production of DSC’s attaining presently the MW/year scale.
