The
global organic solar cells market, also commonly referred to
organic-based photovoltaics, is a highly developing and rapidly
growing market. In only a matter of a year, the market has made an
impressive shift from the realm of fundamental research at university
levels into industry-level production.
Use
of photovoltaic cells for harvesting energy directly from sunlight is
considered one of the most promising ways of addressing mounting
global energy needs. Solar cells constitute one of the cleanest ways
of harvesting energy, since they use a source of freely available
renewable energy and causes minimal detrimental effect on the
environment by not adding to the level of atmospheric emissions at
all.
Provided
that solar cells can be made economically competitive against
traditional energy sources such as fossil fuels, the large-scale
manufacturing of solar cells will offer a reliable source of
sustainable energy that could account for a substantial portion of
our energy needs. Usage of organic materials such as various novel
polymers for fabricating solar cells is a good way of reducing the
manufacturing – and thus final – costs of solar cells. The use of
organic substances for manufacturing solar cells makes the
manufacturing process potentially easier than conventional
manufacturing processes using silicon or other such materials.
Organic solar cells also have one more important advantage over the
conventional solar cells – they can be easily molded into different
shapes and colored in various ways, making them preferable when the
application focuses more on design and flexibility and less on
efficacy.

The
only restricting factors for organic solar cells are their lower
efficiency and smaller life compared to conventional solar cells.
However, with technological advancements taking place at a rapid
pace, the industry will also find a plausible solution to these
problems soon, pushing the market more firmly in the future. In fact,
some companies such as Solarmer Energy, Inc. and Heliatek GmbH have
also constantly invested in research activities for improving the
efficiency of organic solar cells over the past decade.
The
many benefits of organic solar cells have caused the global market to
rapidly adopt these cells in a variety of application areas,
especially in fields such as building-integrated solar cells and
mobile applications such as powering portable devices in vehicles.
One would consider the use of organic solar cells in these areas a
rather introductory application for a technology with huge growth
potential and benefits; however, these areas are also the ones that
can open doors for widespread appeal quite easily. Though
cost-sensitive, domestic users are also the most abundant end users
of any technology related with power generation.
