A novel donor–acceptor (D–A) type alternating copolymer based on dithieno[3,2‐b:2′,3′‐d]pyrrole (DTP) and thieno[3,4‐c]pyrrole‐4,6‐dione (TPD) was synthesized. The polymer has a broad absorption spectrum in the range of 350–810 nm. The energy levels of the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) of the copolymer were −5.11 and −3.63 eV, respectively, as determined by cyclic voltammetry. Bulk heterojunction type polymer solar cells based on PDTP‐TPD and PC 70 BM, showed power conversion efficiency (PCE) up to 1.6% with an open‐circuit voltage of V OC = 0.66 V, a short‐circuit current of I SC = 4.98 mA · cm −2 , and a fill factor of FF = 0.50. The V OC of 0.66 V is the highest value among DTP‐based photovoltaic polymers.
