Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are compatible with printing processes. We show that inkjet printing technology can be used for the fabrication of high‐ efficiency OPVs. The appropriate selection of organic solvent mixture creates an ultrasmooth inkjet printed active layer with intimate morphology and interfaces for efficient performance (see figure). We report 3% power‐ conversion‐efficiency organic solar cells with inkjet printed polymer: fullerene blend photoactive layer.
