Climate change presents a fundamental challenge to global sustainable development. Immediate action is required to set up progressive policy regimes and initiate concrete actions that will ensure huge reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. In this regard a photogalvanic cell composed with Bismark Brown Y-G, Ascorbic Acid and Sodim laurylsulphate chemicals as photosensitizer, reductant and surfactant respectively for conversion of solar energy into electrical energy. The photopotential, photocurrent, power at power point, fill factor (η), conversion efficiency and cell performance (t0.5) at light intensity 10.4 mWcm-2 have been observed of the order of 846.0 mV, 860 μA, 127.28 μW, 0.1749, 1.22% and 140 minutes respectively. The best conditions for cell have also been observed for optimal cell performance.The effect of various parameters like concentration of photosensitizers, reductant and micelles, variation of pH, light intensity and diffusion path length were observed. A current–voltage (i–V) characteristic of the cell was studied. A tentative mechanism has been proposed for the generation of the photocurrent.
