In Australia, CSIRO is at the forefront of the Energy Revolution assisting economists, technologists, industry and policy makers to target reduced CO2 emissions (over those in 2000) of 25% by 2020 and 70% by 2050.The challenge is how to grow our energy generation without carbon intensive emission sources, where the effective use of renewable energy is a logical key component.A distinct advantage of organic solar cells-OSCs-(both OPV and DSC) is the low-embodied energy in their manufacture, which has been demonstrated at a pilot-scale by leading industry partners in recent years.In addition to the technology improvements being addressed, determination of the annual energy yield (AEY) and levelised cost of energy (LCoE) as a function of insolation angle, spectral red-shift and real operating temperatures are important to allow a realistic evaluation of respective PV technologies and application.This presentation will introduce the capability and work programs underway at CSIRO in OSCs, highlighted with examples of our research in design/synthesis of novel high extinction light absorbers, device/module fabrication and performance and the scope of our PV performance laboratories as we progress towards ISO standardisation.
