Organic solar cells are cheaper and easier to produce than inorganic solar cells. In addition, organic solar cells have a wide range of applications due to their flexible structure. However, since the efficiency of organic solar cells is lower than that of inorganic solar cells, studies are carried out to increase efficiency. Maximum power point monitoring studies in solar systems provide improvement in the efficiency of these systems. DC-DC converters are needed for the application of maximum power point tracking algorithms to solar systems. Due to the high output voltages of organic panels, specially designed converters should be used to apply maximum power point algorithms to these panel types. Flyback converters are preferred in high voltage applications because their output circuits are isolated from the input circuits. In this study, considering the advantages and deficiencies in the literature, a polymer-based organic panel produced by the R2R method was used. Considering the high output voltage of the organic panel, characteristic curves were obtained and flyback converter design was carried out depending on the values in these characteristic curves. In this way, with the smaller, more powerful, and portable converter, compact devices such as mobile phones and smart watches will be able to be charged with portable, foldable, lightweight organic panels in their environment or in open air environments.
