In comparison, the working principle of this solar cell is quite different from perovskite solar cells and inorganic p–n junction solar cells. When OPVs are illuminated, a localised and strongly bound exciton (i.e. a bound electron–hole pair) is generated, with the electron in the LUMO (lowest unoccupied molecular orbital) and the hole in the HOMO (highest …

When light shines on a photovoltaic (PV) cell – also called a solar cell – that light may be reflected, absorbed, or pass right through the cell. The PV cell is composed of semiconductor material; the "semi" means that it can conduct electricity better than an insulator but not as well as a good conductor like a metal.
