	An organic solar cell is an electricity-generating device comprised of thin layers of conductors, and photoelectrically active organic compounds. This section is based on lectures presented by Professor Jean Luc Bredas at Georgia Tech in 2007, and by materials contributed from several other technical sources, including Department of Energy workshops on Solar Electric energy conversion. We will look at the major processes in solar cells and overview of the organic solar solar cell.

	In organic solar cells light passes through the glass cover coated with transparent Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) and a [PEDOT/PSS] transport layer. A bulk heterojunction is made with polythiophene and a C60 Fullerene derivative P3HT- PCBM and finally a bottom electrode made from aluminum. In the heterojunction photons are absorbed and charge is separated creating an electric current.
