A round robin study of flexible large-area roll-to-roll processed polymer solar cell modules (2009, background): “One study has detailed the cost of processing and shown that low-cost manufacturing of polymer solar cells is possible but materials costs must be reduced significantly to reach ultimate cost goals of 20 cents per watt [4].”
Polymer solar cells with enhanced open-circuit voltage and efficiency (2009, background): “Furthermore, fabricating large-area devices without significantly losing efficiency while maintaining long device lifetimes remains challengin”
Spray coated high-conductivity PEDOT:PSS transparent electrodes for stretchable and mechanically-robust organic solar cells (2013, methodology): “To encourage widespread acceptance, flexible OSCs should be efficient, mechanically robust, lightweight, and fabricated with techniques scalable for mass manufacturing [6,7].”
Mechanical flexibility of transparent PEDOT:PSS electrodes prepared by gravure printing for flexible organic solar cells (2011, background): “Printable organic solar cells (OSCs) have attracted significant interest because of their simple and cost-efficient fabrication process, light weight and superior flexibility [1–4].”
