ABSTRACT: Organic solar cells (OSCs) offer a promising alternative to conventional photovoltaic technologies, thanks to their flexibility, lightness and low manufacturing cost. The P3HT/PCBM system, based on a bulk heterojunction (BHJ), is one of the most studied for its reproducible performance. This work proposes a numerical modeling of this system using the MATLAB software, in order to analyze the impact of physical parameters such as carrier mobility, active layer thickness and energy disorder on photovoltaic performances. The results obtained confirm the relevance of MATLAB as a customizable and powerful simulation tool for organic device optimization.
