Photovoltaic (PV) cells convert the energy of solar or other light sources to electricity. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of PV cells can be calculated by using Equation 1, where P out is the maximum of the electrical output power density of a PV cell and P in is the input light power density. PCE is the most important parameter of PV cells.
