In order to achieve a high performance in organic solar cells, reaching a reproducibly high fill factor – the solar cell parameter which depends on internal device structure and electrodes mostly sensitive – is crucial. Depending on the preparation conditions, sometimes the problem of s–shaped current–voltage (IV) curves arises, causing a low fill factor and therefore a low power conversion efficiency. In order to investigate this double diode behaviour, we prepared poly(3-hexyl thiophene):methanofullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells with a blend ratio of 1:1, varying the processing conditions. We discovered two different types of s–shapes, one with an increasing slope after the inflexion point and the other with a decreasing slope. We discuss space charged limited currents, trap states and internal energy barriers as as potential origin of the double diode behaviour.
