ORGANIC OPTOELECTRONIC DEVICES AND MATERIALS WITH INCREASED EFFICIENCY AND LIFETIME
An organic photovoltaic (OPV) device comprises a first arrangement of at least one OPV cell, and a second arrangement of at least one OPV cell, wherein the first and second arrangements are connected in parallel. An organic photovoltaic device comprises a substrate, a first and second electrodes above the substrate, and a heterojunction between the electrodes, comprising a first and second regions, wherein at least a portion of the heterojunction is lightly doped, wherein a conductivity dopant is covalently tied to a host within the first or second regions.
PHOTOVOLTAIC CELL ASSEMBLIES FOR POWER GENERATION PARAMETER MATCHING
A photovoltaic device includes a first photovoltaic cell assembly and a second photovoltaic cell assembly. The first photovoltaic cell assembly includes a first group of thin-film photovoltaic cells electrically connected in series and a second group of photovoltaic cells electrically connected in series. The second photovoltaic cell assembly includes a third group of thin-film photovoltaic cells electrically connected in series and a fourth group of photovoltaic cells electrically connected in series. The first group and the third group have a common electrode. An electrical connection of the first photovoltaic cell assembly and the second photovoltaic cell assembly is configured to match a voltage at maximum power (Vmp) generated by the first group and the third group and by the second group and the fourth group.
