Improved light transmission is observed experimentally in silver nanoparticle-coated FTO glass. The transmission data are used to explore the effect on electrical parameters of DSSC using theoretical model. Current density increased from 11.7 to 12.34mA/cm2 and open-circuit voltage increased from 704 to 709.5mV. Overall efficiency enhancement of 6.67% is observed in TiO2 nanorod-based DSSC due to plasmon-induced light trapping.
