abstract = {Organic photovoltaics are an emerging solar power
technology which embody properties such as transparency,
flexibility, and rapid, roll to roll manufacture, opening
the potential for unique niche applications. We report a
detailed techno-economic analysis of one such application,
namely the photovoltaic greenhouse, and discuss whether the
unique properties of the technology can provide advantages
over conventional photovoltaics. The potential for spectral
selectivity through the choice of OPV materials is evaluated
for the case of a photovoltaic greenhouse. The action
spectrum of typical greenhouse crops is used to determine
the impact on crop growth of blocking different spectral
ranges from the crops. Transfer matrix optical modelling is
used to assess the efficiency and spectrally resolved
transparency of a variety of commercially available
semi-conducting polymer materials, in addition to a
non-commercial low-band-gap material with absorption outside
that required for crop growth. Economic analysis suggests
there could be a huge potential for OPV greenhouses if
aggressive cost targets can be met. Technical analysis shows
that semi-transparent OPV devices may struggle to perform
better than opaque crystalline silicon with partial
coverage, however, OPV devices using the low-band-gap
material PMDPP3T, as well as a high efficiency mid-band-gap
polymer PCDTBT, can demonstrate improved performance in
comparison to opaque, flexible thin-film modules such as
CIGS. These results stress the importance of developing new,
highly transparent electrode and interlayer materials, along
with high efficiency active layers, if the full potential of
this application is going to be realised},
