Analysis of Organic Photovoltaic Device at Different Series Resistances

Abstract

GPVDM is simulation software that is used to analyze the optical and electrical properties of organic solar cell, based on P3HT: PCBM organic materials. The bulk hetero junction organic solar cell has been electrically simulated by GPVDM software at different series resistances. Organic bulk hetero junction solar cell is a mixture of P3HT and PCBM used as active layer material, ITO; a transparent electrode, PEDOT: PSS; an electron blocking layer and Al, back electrode. In this analysis, the electrical simulation has been done at different series resistances. It is observed that current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics are varied with the series resistance. The best J-V characteristic as well as maximum short circuit current is obtained at 1Ω series resistance.
