We developed high-efficiency organic solar cells (OSCs) using a low-cost PTQ10:DTY6 blend processed from a halogen-free solvent. Devices fabricated via spin- and blade-coating showed comparable PCEs (~12%), with non-inverted structures slightly outperforming. Morphological analyses revealed similar domain sizes, purity, and exciton quenching across techniques. We also demonstrate large-area semi-transparent OSCs for agrivoltaic applications, optimizing donor–acceptor ratios to balance performance and light transmittance.
