Essential report on analyzing organic photovoltaics

DUBLIN, IRELAND: Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Analyzing Organic Photovoltaics" report to its offering.

The sun, believed by mankind to be just a mere centrepiece of the solar system in which we live, is in reality not just a unit but an entire symphonic system which was in place much before the first humans ever walked on planet earth.

This system which has been the primary energy source for the origin of life on earth is in fact very well adequately positioned by nature to fulfil the needs of energy for humans for many more centuries to come.

An effort by humans to harness this abundant source of energy available around us has manifested itself in the form solar energy being converted to many applications as diverse as heat channelling, electricity conversion, electro mechanical applications and much more.

The dream of solar energy for human applications was realized in the early part of this century by the invention of solar cells which when arranged in photovoltaic arrays deliver power for bigger applications.

The next leap of invention in this direction is "Organic Photovoltaics". This report "Analyzing Organic Photovoltaics" earmarks the immense potential that this technology holds for the future of mankind and the crucial impact it will have on the process of introduction of solar energy into large scale arenas of industrialized economies.

This report on Analyzing Organic Photovoltaics initiates a strong theoretical understanding of the Solar Cell system and their subsequent propagation into photovoltaic systems, including their applications derived from generational leaps as first to third generation cells.

The report presents the entire gamut of PV cells in a structured family tree for easy interpretation and also delves into the applications of PV technology in isolated environment.

One of the critical factors affecting PV systems is nature and this report also examines the effects of various factors as sunlight, weather, temperature as well as cloudy weather. In this context the report provides a picture of the global markets for PV solar cells and the commercial aspect is explored in the profiling of the markets as well as the statistics as growth patterns on the production side. The report also explores the commercialization potential and future for the market for PV conditions.

The environmental impact of any technology system has also been examined even though Solar PV systems are as close to addressing environmental concerns as possible through instances as a typical SWH system will, over its lifetime, displace 10.5 tons of CO2 if replacing a natural gas system, or 71.5 tons if replacing an electric system.

The report further analyzes the processing techniques of Organic PV cells and various types of concentrators as well as antenna photovoltaic cells. In order to address the efficiency factors which impact the Organic PV systems the report examines the application on nanostructures to this with a complete overview on the two major techniques in use today. There have been efforts to increase the longevity of OPV cells with the application of Exciton Blocking layers being added in order to ensure maximum mileage from any system implemented.

This report also provides a comprehensive look into the US National Solar Technology Roadmap on Organic PV which communicates the intent and the thoroughness of effort being put by the US behind OPV technologies. The report further adds depth to practical understanding of OPV systems by providing two case studies on OPV cells. Leading industry contributors which have globally made an impact on this industry are also elaborated in this report.
