Optical and electrical properties of mini modules of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) using anthocyanin-enriched extracts from maqui (Aristotelia Chilensis) and blackberry (Rubus Glaucus) have been investigated. Anthocyanins pigments are a group of purple, red, blue and violet water-soluble polyphenolic components widely distributed in berry fruits, and maqui and blackberry are particularly rich sources. The main objective of this study was to analyze the factors involved in the performance of a DSSC. For this purpose, the experimental design considered the variation in the anthocyanin concentration, impregnation time and extract type through the Taguchi methodology with an orthogonal array L-4(2(3)) methodology that contributed to reduce cost, time and to obtain reliable statistical results. Then, the effect of these factors was identified by ANOVA, determining the incidence on the efficiency of the DSSC. As a result of the experimental program, the effect on efficiency by anthocyanin concentration was 43.90%, impregnation time 4.55% and extract type 51.22%. The variable extract type contributed the most to the performance, followed by anthocyanin concentration. However, the impregnation time had no effect on the efficiency of the DSSC with a maqui (Aristotelia Chilensis) and blackberry (Rubus glaucus) mixture. With this research, it is possible to identify the influence of different manufacturing factors that affect the efficiency of the DSSC with natural dyes, such as maqui and blackberry mixtures. Through this research, it is established that the incorporation of maqui to the mixture enhances the efficiency of the DSSCs. Maqui as a dye improves the optical absorption properties of the material by increasing the peak of absorption range. This study promotes new research in DSSC with mixtures of natural dyes.
