In this paper, we will present our approach to develop a new class of solar cells with dynamic optical properties. We have synthesized new organic photosensitizers showing photochromic properties and incorporated them into dye-sensitized solar cells. We obtained semi-transparent solar cells able to self-adapt autonomously their light transmission and energy production according to daylight variations. We will discuss the synthesis of the new photochromic photosensitizers, their optical and electronic properties, and we will present the development of photochromic semi-transparent mini-modules using them.
