Abstract Four different types of dibenzo chrysene (DBC) based molecules (A1-A4) are designed to investigate their photovoltaic properties via quantum simulation. Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) analysis is performed to explore various parameter of solar cells i.e. the 3-D geometries of designed molecules, photovoltaic properties, reorganization energies, dipole moment, transition density matrix (TDMs), open-circuit voltage (Voc) and Exciton Binding Energy (Eb). We have performed a comparative study between designed molecules and reference structure to R to conclude our results. Among all designed structures, A4 has shown a red shift with λ max of 797.4 nm and band-gap (ΔH-L) of 1.743eV in CHCl3 by B3LYP/6-31G (d,p) using the IEFPCM model. The internal reorganization energy of all the designed molecules has shown a more effective charge transfer property as compared to R. However, A4 has shown the least value of λe (0.003775 a.u), thus have g
