We analyze the effect of masking on the conversion efficiency of dye sensitized solar cells (DSC) by comparing the photovoltaic performance of the device subjected to light from a solar simulator for a variety of mask sizes. The aperture size of the mask had a significant effect on the energy conversion efficiency, which varied by as much as 36%. We identify factors that contribute to measurement errors and propose optimal conditions for the characterization of DSC's of small size.
