A wire‐shaped flexible dye‐sensitized solar cell (WSF‐DSSC) without any transparent conducting oxide materials is fabricated. The cell has a helical twisting structure formed by two fiber‐like electrodes (100 μm in diameter). Due to the twisting structure, many opaque conducting materials such as metal wire can be applied. It is found that the incident‐light‐angle dependence of the cell's IV output is extremely low.
