Limitless Application of Flexible Organic Photovoltaic Cells Revolutionizing Solar Energy Conversion: Unveiling Fuels of Future Cutting-Edge Smart Cities

Abstract

Smart cities are at the forefront of sustainable urban development, and the integration of renewable energy sources is crucial for their long-term success. Flexible OPV cells represent a significant advancement in solar technology. Unlike traditional rigid solar panels, these cells are lightweight, bendable, and versatile. Composed of organic materials, they offer a unique combination of flexibility and efficiency, making them ideal for integration into urban structures and powering various smart city applications. The versatility of flexible OPV cells opens a myriad of applications within smart cities. One notable application is the seamless integration into urban architecture. These cells can be incorporated into building materials, windows, and even clothing, turning previously passive structures into active energy generators. This chapter explores the application of flexible organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells as a revolutionary technology in solar energy conversion within the context of smart cities.
