Report Summary
Organic and Dye-Sensitized Cell Photovoltaics: Materials, Applications and Opportunities
2010 – It has always been apparent that organic photovoltaics (OPV) would not easily
match the conversion efficiencies of the inorganic thin-film PV technologies or conventional
silicon PV. Nonetheless, OPV has been expected to easily compete with its rivals on cost.
Unfortunately, for OPV, this assumption is now being challenged. The cost of OPV has not
declined as quickly as many had hoped, while competitive technologies have seen more
rapid than anticipated reductions in cost. It is no longer a foregone conclusion that OPV will
be the cheapest PV technology.

Does this mean that the end of the road is near for OPV? We don’t believe so. In this new
report we analyzes the OPV industry and show which applications will preserve the OPV
market as a growth business. OPV has some unique features that distinguish it from the
inorganic TFPVs; features like extreme flexibility and ease of manufacturing that can allow it
to enter some markets where the other PV technologies cannot.
In this report, we discusses how and where these distinguishing features can be turned in
opportunities. We also examine where hybrid organic/inorganic PV, notably dye sensitized
cells (DSCs), is making its mark; in building integrated PV and other areas.
This report provides the latest analysis and forecasts of the opportunities available in OPV
and DSC markets. The focus for growth in the OPV/DSC business now look very different
than predicted even a year ago. So this report is essential reading for any firm seeking to
generate new business revenues in this industry.
