The mechanisms leading to bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cell degradation are not well understood. However, it is well known that P3HT-based solar cells are susceptible to degradation by water, oxygen and light. Hence, this study serves to determine the effects of light induced degradation of a pol...
