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.
Electrons are knocked loose from the semiconducting polymer material when light is absorbed
The flow of the loose electrons constitutes an electric current
The current is captured and transferred to wires
The OPV's versatility can be attributed to the diversity of organic materials designed and synthesized for the absorber, acceptor, and interfaces. Organic solar cells find applications in automotive, rooftop panels, building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), consumer electronics, and others.
