According to the German Federal Ministry of teaching and research published on the website, OPEG (organic photovoltaic energy supply) made a major breakthrough in research projects: laptop battery an organic solar cell conversion efficiency to 5.9%, 5.4% more than the world record improved by 0.5 percentage points.
Organic solar cells with the traditional compound semiconductor cells, compared to ordinary silicon solar cells, Latitude D620 battery and its advantage is more thin and flexible, FK890 battery and low cost. However, conversion efficiency is not high (at present, the organic solar cell conversion efficiency of about 5.4%, while that of commercial compound semiconductor cell conversion efficiency up to 30%, ordinary silicon solar cell conversion efficiency of more than 15%), partial short life has been hindered organic solar cell technology market development bottleneck. The research results, for the future production of lightweight high-performance, low-cost organic solar cells – “plastic solar cells” may be provided.
July 2008, the German Federal investment in teaching and research of the 16 million euros to start OPEG project from eight companies and research institutions shared. Latitude D830 battery To break the world record of the research results: 5.9% conversion efficiency of organic solar cells of the stack is Heliatek companies, BASF and the University of Dresden Institute of Applied Photophysics of joint research and development. The research project will continue until June 2011.
