Abstract This research paper is an attempt to present a depth study and performance parameters extraction of organic solar cell. Subsequently, this paper also discusses various recent advancements in organic solar cells in terms of material, structures, and other performance influencing factors. Furthermore, analysis of organic solar cells is included in terms of transmittance of PEDOT: PSS material, Absorption spectrum of PCBM film, photocurrent at different thickness of CuPc, Dark and light I–V characteristics of CuPc/PCBM bilayer. Besides this, depth performance analysis of organic solar cell is carried out using 2-D numerical device Atlas simulator; subsequently, impact of thickness variation of bilayer organic solar cells on performance parameters is also analyzed. Keywords Organic solar cell OPVs

1 Introduction Organic solar cells have the ability that can be efficient solar energy convertors which proves favorable in light tracing and exciton generation properties. Organic material-based devices and circuits can be processed using low cost and lower temperature solution process method of fabrication [1, 2] to reduce the overall cost of the end user products. Polymer materials are generally processed with solution method that intern use of flexible substrate and light weight for solar energy conversion with the potential to be used as roll to roll processing techniques for low temperature. The conversion to electrical energy from light energy is known as Kamlesh Kukreti (&) A.P.S.

photovoltaic effect which is traced by Becquerel’s in 1839 as studies of liquid electrolyte [3] has been studied for broad range of material. In the modern world the tipping point as it transformed photovoltaic technology to convert sunlight into electricity was reported in 1954 by Chapin et al. [4] based on silicon p-n junction with 6 % of solar energy conversion. Calvin and Kearns [5] in 1958 utilized magnesium phthalocyanines (MgPh) to generate 200 mV photo voltage. This area of organic solar cell reached a significant level in 1970s and in the 1980s. In 1986, Tang [6] explained two-layer device, i.e., copper phthalocyanine as the donor and perylene tetracarboxylic derivative as the acceptor which gives the power efficiency of 1 %. In the year 1992, Scriciftci et al. [7] used material polyphenylene fullerene for charge generation assistance (acceptor) and further to get better result he used polyphenylene vinylene (PPV) and PCBM (1-(3-methoxycarbonyl) pr
