In this paper, the decrease of fill factor with increase of light illumination intensity was investigated through light assisted impedance studies based on ITO/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly (styrene sulfonate)/[poly(3-hexylthiophene):1-(3-methyloxycarbonyl)-propyl-1-phenyl(6,6)C-61 (P3HT:PCBM)]/Ca/Al solar cells. It was found that the charge accumulation at the electrode interface causes a decrease in parallel resistance (Rp), consequently a reduction in fill factor. Moreover, it has also been found that the photocurrent loss near the open-circuit voltage through bimolecular recombination also leads to the reduction of fill factor with increasing light intensity in P3HT: PCBM solar cells.
