Abstract: A high capacity dye-sensitized solar cell module where a plurality of unit cells are simultaneously formed at a substrate in a simplified manner with increased light absorption efficiency. The dye-sensitized solar cell module includes first and second conductive substrates facing one another with regions for a plurality of unit cells.
