The present invention discloses a method for improving mass-production yield of large-area organic solar cells for forming the active layer using the roll-to-roll process. The active layer includes low-bandgap high-polymer PTB7, Fullerenes derivative PCBM, and high-boiling-point additives. The addition of the high-boiling-point additives can enhance the efficiency of organic solar cells effectively. In the roll-to-roll process according to the present invention, the drying temperature for the wet film is controlled for controlling the content of additives in the dry film. Thereby, the stability of the overall mass production and the device yield can be both improved.

A method for manufacturing large-area organic solar cells utilizes a hot solvent vapor annealing manufacturing process while manufacturing the organic solar cells via a large-area proceeding method, such as spraying. Namely, a heated solvent vapor is utilized to modify an active layer after the active layer of the organic solar cells is formed, which ensures a flatness and an uniformity thereof and increases a crystallinity of the active layer and an element charge transport rate so that a power conversion efficiency of the large area organic solar cells is increased, a proceeding time is quite short, and the performance thereof is quite obvious. Therefore, the method not only reduces the cost by a large area production but obtains organic solar cells with higher conversion efficiency.
