Chapter 10, Problem 26E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percent efficiency of the given PVcell is to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The percent of the input power that is converted into the output power by a PV cell is called its efficiency.

Percent efficiency of a PVcell is 100 multiplied by the ratio of power out and power in.

$\text{Percent efficiency}=\frac{\text{Power out}}{\text{Power in}}\times 100\%$ …… (1)
