    Organic solar cells offer several advantages over traditional silicon-based solar cells, including easy preparation through low-cost, low-temperature processing and the ability to produce flexible devices on plastic substrates. Organic solar cells work by absorbing light which generates excitons, particles that must diffuse to an interface to undergo charge separation into electrons and holes. The charges then transport to electrodes for collection, but have lower mobility than in inorganic solar cells, resulting in lower power conversion efficiency currently. Continued research aims to optimize the processes involved to improve efficiency and utilize organic solar cells' promising advantages.

    INTRODUCTION
    Solar light is the most important source of regenerative energy
    as waterpower, wind and biomass. The annual energy input of
    solar irradiation on Earth exceeds the world's yearly energy
    consumption by several thousand times. For the conversion of
    solar energy, fundamentally new developments are important.
    Today's most promising tools to make use of solar energy are
    its direct conversion into electrical energy in photovoltaic cells.
    All over the world, consumption of energy has increased every
    year by several percentages over the last fifty years nowadays,
    most of energy is supplied by fossil fuels on the one hand and
    by nuclear energy on the other hand. However, these resources
    are limited and
    Their use has a serious environmental impact, which extends
    probably over several future generations. The applied
    photovoltaic cells mainly are silicon-based solar cells in most
    cases. However, compared with traditional silicon-based solar
    cells, Organic solar cells are a promising way towards large-area
    and low-price, robust, user friendly photovoltaic systems. The
    main advantages are the easy preparation, low process,
    temperatures, low-cost materials and processing technology
    and the possibility to produce flexible devices on plastic
    substrates. When the power conversion efficiency of organic
    solar cells is close to 10%, it can be served as an excellent
    candidate. The low power conversion efficiency of organic solar
    cells confines its application. The power conversion efficiency
    was only 10-5% about fifty years ago.
    CHARACTERISTIC OF ORGANIC
    CELLS

    Organic solar cells and inorganic solar cells are based on


    photovoltaic effect. There are some well-known differences
    between organic solar cells and inorganic solar cells. Organic
    solar cells are lack of a three-dimensional crystal lattice,
    different intramolecular and intermolecular interactions, local
    structural disorders, amorphous and crystalline regions, and
    chemical impurities. Obviously, when light absorption in
    inorganic solar cells, it leads to the formation of more free
    carriers, but when light absorption in organic solar cells, it leads
    to the formation of more excitons. Excitons have more binding
    energy in organic solar cells, and the mobilities of charge
    carriers are far lower in organic solar cells than in inorganic
    solar cells. As one of the many consequences of this, the power
    conversion efficiency of organic solar cells is much less than
    inorganic solar cells.
    BASIC PROCESS IN ORGANIC
    SOLAR CELLS

    In general, for a successful organic photovoltaic cell five


    important processes have to be optimized to obtain a high
    conversion efficiency of solar energy into electrical energy:
    (1) Absorption of light and generation of excitons
    (2) Diffusion of excitons to an active interface
    (3) Charge separation
    (4) Charge transport
    (5) Charge collection.
    To create a working photovoltaic cell, the two photoactive
    materials are sandwiched between two (metallic) electrodes (of
    which one is transparent), to collect the photo generated
    charges. After the charge separation process, the charge
    carriers have to be transported to these electrodes without
    recombination. Finally, it is important that the charges can
    enter the external circuit at the electrodes without interface
    problem.
    ADVANTAGES
     High-Throughput and Low-Cost
    Processing
     Flexible Solar Cells

     Eco-Friendly Technology
    CONCLUSION
    Organic solar cells shows good promises in the development of
    low cost photovoltaic alternatives. A structured and systematic
    research are required in the field to successfully utilize the
    foreseen advantages of organic solar cells.
    The review on basic physics, charge transfer dynamics,
    mechanism and recent approaches and developments in the
    field are carried out. It is very important to understand the
    basic mechanism of operation in conversion of light into
    electricity. Since all the design, architecture and materials
    developments revolve around our level of understanding of the
    basic mechanism it accounts chief importance in all researches
    going on in the field of organic photovoltaics.
