ITO/PEDOT: PSS/P3HT: PC60BM/Mg-Al organic solar cells (OSCs) were fabricated depending on optimization of Poly (3-hexylthiophene-2, 5-diyl) (P3HT) and phenyl-C61-Butyric-Acid-Methyl Ester (PC60BM). The optimization of the active layer, P3HT: PC60BM, was carried out under different spin frequencies coating from 900 to 3000 rpm. The post-production annealing temperature of all prepared OSC was studied from 130 to 190 °C. The holes transport layer, poly (3, 4-ethylene dioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT: PSS), was prepared under constant conditions of 3000 rpm for 35 s, and annealing temperature 178 °C for 15 min. From our study, the optimum conditions for P3HT: PC60BM were spin coating of 3000 rpm, and annealing temperature of 160 °C for 5 min. The optimum J-V parameters values for the prepared OSC were JSC = 12. 01 mA/cm2, VOC = 660 mV, FF = 59%, PCE = 4. 65%, and EQE = 61%. A complete OSC with acceptable efficiency was designed using simple and low-cost techniques that may be utilized in the industry. Furthermore, the cost of the synthesized solar cell is projected to be around 1 /cm2, with the goal of lowering the cost and increasing efficiency in the future by incorporating more commercial nanostructured electron/hole transport components.
