Abstract: This article presents the first theoretical analysis of the bending behavior of circular organic solar cells (COSCs). The solar cell under investigation is built on a flexible Kerr foundation and has five layers of Al, P3HT:PCBM, PEDOT:PSS, ITO, and Glass. The cell is exposed to hygrothermal conditions. The related Kerr foundation lessens displacements and supports the cell. The principle of virtual work is used to generate the basic partial differential equations, which are then solved using the differential quadrature method (DQM). The results of the present theory are validated by comparing them with published ones. The effects of the temperature, humidity, elastic foundation factors, and geometric configuration characteristics on the deflection and stresses of the COSC are examined.
