What Are OPV and DSC?

Polymer-film-based Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) materials are potentially a competitive alternative to silicon, offering advantages in flexibility, large-scale manufacture by reel-to-reel printing technology, low cost, large area and ease of installation. Although these may be lower in efficiency than poly-Si, this will be offset by compensations in area and cost of production. An initial cost of US$1.90/watt, for 7% ece could eventually fall to as low as US$0.65 per watt with the full implementation of large-scale reel-to-reel printing technology. One manufacturer estimates that thin-film technology could grow to 20% of the rapidly expanding solar cell market by 2010. A critical mass of relevant research and industry expertise exists in Victoria to position the state at the national and international forefront of this new sustainable energy technology. The key to the development of organic photovoltaics lies in understanding the controlled synthesis and supramolecular ordering of semico
