Performance Optimization Assessment of Different Polymer based PV Cells

Abstract

Solar power has become a very attractive topic among scientist in the past three decades as the requirement for alternative energy schemes with extremely less carbon emission have become necessary. Organic PV cells are promising device for the flexible and low-cost solar cells.   Polymer based PPV/PCBM and Perowskite solar cell can be a good alternate of si based cells. This paper describes the Design of device structure and assessment of both the properties (optical and electrical) of organic solar cells to further enhance their power conversion efficiency. It basically presents simulation of electrical & optical characteristics of polymer (donor)/fullerene based organic materials and PPV/ PCBM bulk heterojunction PV cells devices & extraction of figures of merits like Ƞ , Voc,  Isc & fill factor.
