Organic solar cells are a type of photovoltaic technology that uses organic materials, such as carbon-based compounds, to convert sunlight into electricity. These materials can be flexible and lightweight, making them suitable for a variety of applications, including portable electronics and building-integrated photovoltaics. Unlike traditional silicon-based solar cells, organic solar cells can be produced using low-cost printing techniques, which may reduce manufacturing expenses. However, they generally have lower efficiency and shorter lifespans compared to their inorganic counterparts, such as silicon solar cells. Research is ongoing to improve their performance and durability.
