Organic solar cell. Like all photovoltaic cells, it converts energy from sunlight into electricity. However, it is made entirely of organic materials.


Organic solar cell. Like all photovoltaic cells, it converts energy from sunlight into electricity. However, it is made entirely of organic materials. An inkjet printing mechanism has been developed to effectively print out solar cells like this one. This makes the technology easier and cheaper to manufacture and distribute than conventional inorganic solar panels.
