4. THE ACTIVE LAYER IN OGANIC SOLAR CELL
Composed of an electron donor and
electron acceptor
3 types of junctions
1. single layer
2. Bilayer
3. Bulk heterojunction
Usually the excitons from the electron
donor are responsible for the
photocurrent

produce electricity from sunlight by

8. WHY FLEXIBLE SOLAR PANEL?
• A large amount of light can be absorbed with a small amount of
organic materials
• Cost effective
• Formed on plastic, paper
• Highly flexible,portable and light weight
• Capable of producing voltages exceeding than 50V at normal lighting
conditions.
• Uses vapor deposition technique so it is easier to manufacture on
ordinary paper to be flexible.
10. CONCLUSION
Due to highly thin, flexible and light weight ti is portable. Due to large
amount of absorption of light it gives maximum energy. It is cost
effective because it uses paper or thin plastic for base material. It’s
efficiency, physical structure and performance is more better than
conventional solid solar panel.
