Abstract

The present invention relates to a serial module of organic solar cells and the method for manufacturing the same. The structure comprises a transparent conductive layer composed by a plurality of conductive blocks, an active layer having notches on the periphery, and a metal layer composed by a plurality of metal blocks. The active layer according to the present invention is a complete layer except the notches on the periphery for exposing a portion of the transparent conductive layer. The metal blocks can contact the conductive blocks of adjacent organic solar cell via the exposure areas and thus connecting the organic solar cells in series. The present invention can improves the power generating efficiency of organic solar cells in a limited space, which is beneficial to the development of promotion of future organic solar cells.
