Power Conversion efficiency simulation. Optical simulation. Organic solar cells. This work presents the simulation of the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs), as well as the optimization of the thickness of active layer for better efficiency. The simulated OSCs uses P3HT: PCBM polymer as an active layer.
In Case No. 0, the theoretical conversion efficiency of the conventional solar cell calculated using this method is shown for comparison. The obtained conversion efficiency is 29.82%, which seems appropriate compared with the other calculations. Case No. 1 shows the results for the Region solar cell.
There are several kinds of solar cells, however, as a common indicator to evaluate the performance of solar cells, energy conversion efficiency is used. This conversion efficiency is defined as the ratio of output power and input power. This value has two types: one is a practical value and the other is a theoretical value.
The obtained conversion efficiency is 29.82%, which seems appropriate compared with the other calculations. Case No. 1 shows the results for the Region solar cell. In Case No. 1, this is the result of the basic Region cell.
However, the optimized voltage is only 0.3 V, and therefore, the energy conversion efficiency is only 24.14%, which is lower than that of the conventional solar cell. In this condition, it is true that the Region cell is of no use. In Case No. 2, CRsv is also set at 1.
According to these approaches (usually referred to as semi-empirical), the efficiency of a solar cell depends on the optical bandgap (E gap) of the semiconductor material indicating that, for crystalline Si (E gap ∼1.1 eV), the maximum efficiency stays in the ∼ 15–22 % range.
