Organic solar cells are constructed using molecules, whereas silicon cells are built using atoms. The difference may seem tiny, and it is, but even a tiny difference at the molecular level can have far reaching implications. Quite simply, molecules are larger than atoms and therefore easier to work with. They can even be dissolved in a solvent, turned into ink, and printed like a newspaper. And as you can see by the price of your morning newspaper, printing is cheap and fast. (more…) [...] [...] But first, to the advantages.
