Energy conversion efficiency is measured by dividing the electrical output by the incident light power. Factors influencing output include spectral distribution, spatial distribution of power, temperature, and resistive load. IEC standard 61215 is used to compare the performance of cells and is designed around standard (terrestrial, temperate) temperature and conditions (STC): irradiance of 1 kW/m, a spectral distribution close to solar radiation through AM (airmass) of 1.5
The photovoltaic conversion efficiency of solar panels refers to the effective ratio of solar panels to convert received sunlight energy into electrical energy, usually expressed as a
