A method of forming a solar cell or photovoltaic using the technique of drop on demand printing to deposit a plurality of droplets of deposition material that when suitably dried or solidified form the elements of the device. Printing materials include polymers, metalloorganics, buckminsterfullerene doped conducting polymers, polythiopenes, phenylenvinylenes and mixtures thereof. The solar cell may be a thin film or thick film device, and possess a single or multiple heteroface. The solar cell is formed on a flexible or rigid substrate 402, and an array of microlenses 412 formed from an ormocer are deposited to maximise the light collection efficiency. |
