%X The global challenge of power today necessitates the deployment of clean and renewable energy of which the Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC), is considered a promising technology. A survey of the literature shows that efforts in the development of dye sensitized solar modules are unimpressive despite the high demand of silicon solar modules. A dye sensitized solar module was fabricated in this study using dye extract from the leaves of <i>L</i><i>onchocarpus</i> <i>cyanescens</i> (LC), plant. A Power conversion efficiency of 0.120% was obtained for a single solar cell and a maximum power of 0. 183 &#181;W from twenty-four solar cells connected in series. This result shows that <i>Lonchocarpus</i> <i>cyanescens</i> is a potential resource for the fabrication of cheap dye sensitized solar cells and modules in accordance with item 7 of the government&#8217;s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the provision of affordable and clean energy.
