Polymer photovoltaic devices are promising alternatives to inorganic solar cells due to their low-cost fabrication of large areas. However, as the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells needs to be further increased, investigations of the basic principles are indispensible.

The open-circuit voltage as a key parameter of organic solar cells is studied by both simulation and device characterization. We present an analytic model for bilayer devices employing Poisson-equation and the balance between drift/diffusion-current which is compared to bilayer polymer-fullerene solar cells. Light intensity and temperature dependance will be discussed.
