Carbon-based organic solar cells have
Carbon-based organic solar cells have been discovered to have a greater light absorption and efficiency. University of Michigan researchers have designed a system that operates with 15 percent efficiency, beating out past organic solar cells. Read more: https://news.engin.umich.edu/2018/04/...

The system combines layers in the cell to absorb both visible and infrared light to achieve 15 percent efficiency. This structure allows them to be more flexible and is easier to manufacture than their inorganic counterpart since carbon-based organic solar cells are thin enough to be made into rolls, whereas silicon-based are composed of thick, rigid sheets.
The project is led by Stephen Forrest, an associate professor of mechanical engineering. http://www.umich.edu/~ocm/People%20pa...
