Ultrafast transient absorption measurements open a window to photo‐induced charge‐transfer processes in fully functional indoline dye sensitized solar cells. On p. 943, H. Schwoerer et al. present the effect of systematically modified indoline dyes in the cells on electron injection from dye to semiconductor and detrimental recombination channels, and on the cells macroscopic stability. The cover picture displays one of these cells with an indoline dye attached in the African sunlight, accompanied by a femtosecond transient absorption landscape.
