Polymer solar cells are fabricated on a silver nanowire‐polymer composite electrode. The power conversion efficiency based on a blend of poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) is comparable to control devices with indium tin oxide (ITO)–glass electrodes. The devices are highly flexible and can be bent to a maximum 8% strain with negligible damage to device efficiency.
