N2 - Semitransparent organic solar cells have become attractive recently because of their photon harvesting in the near-infrared and ultraviolet range and passing in the visible light region. Semitransparent organic solar cells with ITO/ZnO/PBDB-T:ITIC/MoO3/Ag/MoO3 structure have been studied in this work and the effects of PBDB-T:ITIC active layer thicknesses and the transparent top electrode, MoO3/Ag/MoO3, thickness on the solar cell performance such as I-V characteristics, the power conversion efficiency, the average visible transmittance, and the color coordinates in the CIE color space are investigated. The drift-diffusion model, including the density of exactions, and their displacement is used to model the devices. The model is examined with experimentally reported devices, where there is a very good agreement between them, then is applied to the new structures. The obtained results show that the average visible transmittance of more than 45% is achievable for these structures with reasonable power conversion efficiency.
