The efficiency and stability of ultra-thin organic solar cells (OPVs) have improved, and applications such as power supply sources for wearable devices are expected. In order to accelerate applied research, it is necessary to manufacture modules with adjusted outputs in order to appropriately supply power to the devices. In particular, it is important to increase the area while maintaining efficiency. In this research, we report that we succeeded in designing the module, manufacturing the actual device, and charging the lithium polymer battery by examining the design and shape of the OPVs.
