The organic solar cell (OSC) is the only solar cell technology that fully addresses the challenges of manufacturing on a scale corresponding to an energy production capacity of 1 GWpeak per day based solely on abundant elements. This ability arises through the use of printing techniques and photoactive layers comprising carbon-based conjugated polymer materials. The technology is briefly reviewed in this chapter by describing the common device structures and materials. The second half of the chapter gives an overview on suitable roll-to-roll (R2R) processing techniques for the fabrication of OSCs. Finally some demonstration ...
