"""This is an excellent book that provides several perspectives on and insights into a growing field of study."" - W. J. Sproule, Michigan Technological University"

This book provides in-depth knowledge of organic solar cells covering aspects such as materials, simulation and modeling, device physics, and engineering. The approach and selection of topics is very appropriate. It gives broad understanding of recent advances in the area. Diversified themes are discussed in a very coherent manner. I consider it as a well-timed and comprehensive guide for learners and advanced level researchers and academics. -Dr. Zuhair S. Khan, Centre for Energy Systems, National University of Sciences & Technology (NUST), Islamabad, Pakistan This book provides the reader comprehensive knowledge of organic solar cell technology ranging from materials, modeling, interfaces to devices.
