Enhancement of light‐harvesting efficiency (LHE) in the red/near‐IR (NIR) region (600–1000 nm) of the solar spectrum is a challenge to improvement of the photovoltaic performances of dye‐sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Therefore, design and development of effective red/NIR photosensitizers are currently a hot topic in DSSCs. BODIPY dyes can offer magnificent characteristics such as sharp and moderately strong absorption, large quantum yields, long excited state lifetimes, good solubility and easy chromatographic separation. From this perspective, recent progress in BODIPY‐sensitized solar cells is reviewed. Harnessing maximum light from the solar spectrum is the key to improve photovoltaic performance of solar cells. Possessing outstanding photophysical properties and flexibility in structural modification, BODIPY dyes have emerged as potential sensitizers for Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells (DSSCs).
