Abstract Among the emerging photovoltaic technologies, solid‐state dye‐sensitised solar cells (ssDSSCs) have attracted considerable interest due to their cost‐effective production, adjustable characteristics, and potential for lightweight flexible applications. Nevertheless, achieving efficiencies comparable established such as perovskite silicon‐based devices, proven challenging. Herein, device structure, Pt/PEDOT: PSS/N719 dye/PC 61 BM/ITO is investigated theoretically using cell capacitance simulator (SCAPS‐1D). Groundbreaking advancement introduced in ssDSSC design, remarkable theoretical power conversion efficiency of 20.73%, surpassing performance reported traditional dye‐based technologies. The model demonstrates an exceptional Fill factor 86.64%, indicating efficient current collection; along with a modest short‐circuit density ( J sc ) 22.38 mA/cm 2 impressive open‐circuit voltage V oc 1.0691 V, highlighting light absorption charge separation.
