Abstract
Organic photovoltaics (OPV) has attracted a great deal of research attention due to its potential to provide low-cost electricity generation. This presentation contains two parts. The first part provides a comprehensive overview of the current status of the technology. Recent advancements in the fabrication and installation are described. The key challenges faced by the technology are highlighted and important research directions for the future are outlined. The second part of the presentation provides an overview of research results from the UNSW OPV group. These include buffer layer optimisation and ternary blend organic solar cells.
