•Power Conversion efficiency simulation.•Optical simulation.•Organic solar cells. This work presents the simulation of the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs), as well as the optimization of the thickness of active layer for better efficiency. The simulated OSCs uses P3HT: PCBM polymer as an active layer. The simulation makes use of an optical model, present in the literature, based on the transfer matrix method that allows calculate the transmission and reflection in each layer of the device. The comparison of the simulated efficiency results with real data from literature shows an average variation of 16%.
