abstract = {Apart from traditional large‐scale outdoor application,
organic solar cells are also of interest for powering small,
off‐grid electronic devices indoors. For operation under
the low light intensities that are typical for indoor
application, a high shunt resistance is required calling for
thick active layers in industrial processing to ensure
maximum coverage. However, the thickness of an organic solar
cell based on energetically disordered semiconductors is
limited by space‐charge effects from charged shallow
defects under nonuniform generation. While other sources of
space charge such as doping and asymmetric transport have
been extensively discussed in previous studies, this work
offers a theoretical analysis of this photo‐induced space
charge in shallow defects and visualizes how the space
charge builds up with increasing light intensity with
drift‐diffusion simulations. It is shown that the effect
particularly deteriorates the performance of an organic
solar cell with high active‐layer thickness and
substantial energetic disorder. However, the simulations
reveal that solar cells are less sensitive to these
parameters under low light intensities due to a reduced
density of photo‐induced space charge. Therefore, a wider
range of material systems and absorber thicknesses can be
viable for indoor applications than one may initially expect
from testing under 1 sun illumination.},
