SOLAR FARMS HAVING ULTRA-LOW COST OPV MODULES

摘要

Solar farms comprising solar panels and solar cells having limited efficiencies and lifetimes, but which are low cost and easily replaceable. Organic photoactive layers can be used including low molecular weight organic compounds and polymeric organic compounds including conducting polymers. Polythiophenes and regioregular polythiophenes are a preferred embodiment for the photoactive layer and can be coupled with fullerene compounds. Cost modeling can be carried out to prove the economic profitability of the solar farm. Levelized cost of energy can be calculated.
