A study of fabricating the first electrospun polymer-fiber solar cell with MEHPPV is presented. Motivation for the work and a brief history of solar cell is given. Limiting factors to improvement of polymer solar cell efficiency are illustrated. Electrospinning is introduced as a technique that may increase polymer solar cell efficiency, and a list of advantages in the technique applied to solar cell is discussed. Results of electrospun polymer-fiber solar cell, absorption, and its device parameter diagnosis through an equivalent circuit analysis are presented.
