Market Definition

Organic solar cells or organic photovoltaics refer to multilayer photovoltaic devices made with organic compounds, converting solar energy into electricity. An organic solar cell is manufactured using carbon-based material and organic electronics instead of silicon as a semiconductor. Organic cells may also be referred to as plastic solar cells or polymer solar cells; compared to crystalline silicon solar cells, organic solar cells are made from compounds that can be dissolved in ink and printed onto plastics. This gives the organic solar cells the attribute of flexibility, lightweight and easy incorporation in places or structures, among others.

Organic solar cell technology is still developing. The power conversion efficiency of the organic solar cell does not match the efficiencies achieved by inorganic silicon solar cells. But the OPVs showcase a wide range of potential applications, and it might not be long before they become the commonly used technology. OPVs are easy to manufacture compared to inorganic solar cells and cheap to produce, and physically versatile. The working principle of organic solar cells is just like that of monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon solar cells. They generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect in three simple steps, such as:

Electrons are knocked loose from the semiconducting polymer material when light is absorbed
