Though heterojunction cell technology has been around a long time, only in the last few years have PV suppliers really begun to look at it as an option for the low-cost manufacturing mainstream.
The PV cell technology originates after the report by Alexandre Edmond Becquerel during his first observations of the photovoltaic effect in 1839 [34]. An exciton is created in the electron donor material when solar light hits the OPV bulk heterojunction cell, indicating electron transport to an electron-accepting material [124, 131].
