Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are actually one of the most promising low cost photovoltaic technologies, addressing �secure, clean and efficient solar energy conversion�. There is currently a large effort to improve device performances and stability in order to meet with the requirement for greener energy generation. Here we present and compare, with state of the art, our recent progress on the exploitation of hybrid-organic dyes ruthenium based (N719, K19, C101, C106, N749 and Z907) for application in DSCs. Furthermore, we provide an in depth discussion on the main limitations in the use of these dyes, outlining future developments for their use both in DSCs and large area modules. We also discuss the cost of DSCs and how their can boost the advancement for new power management solutions in living environments integration and economically viable routes. Finally, we present our view on future prospective in the development of advanced materials for more efficient DSCs.
