The theory of solar cells explains the process by which light energy in photons is converted into electric current when the photons strike a suitable semiconductor device. The theoretical studies are of practical use because they predict the fundamental limits of a solar cell, and give guidance on the.

The model will be used to derive the so-called solar cell equation, which is a widely used relation between the electric current density I leaving the solar cell and the voltage V across the converter. For this purpose, we use the relation for generated power P = I ⋅ V and Eq. (127) and we obtain: By using Eqs. (128), (129) we derive:
AM0 and AM1.5 solar spectrum. Data courtesy of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO. The key characteristic of a solar cell is its ability to convert light into electricity. This is known as the power conversion efficiency (PCE) and is the ratio of incident light power to output electrical power.
In addition to reflecting the performance of the solar cell itself, the efficiency depends on the spectrum and intensity of the incident sunlight and the temperature of the solar cell. Therefore, conditions under which efficiency is measured must be carefully controlled in order to compare the performance of one device to another.
