A solar cell efficiency is defined as the maximum output power (PM) divided by the input power (PIN). It is measured in percentage (%), which indicates that this percentage of input sunlight power is converted to electrical power. The input power is power density. Therefore, to calculate efficiency multiply PIN at STC by area.
The solar cell efficiency is given under STC and the input power (PIN) is taken as 1000 W/m2. Thus, by using the formula given below we can determine the output power generated for different efficiencies. PM = (PIN × Area) × ƞ
Then the power output of a typical photovoltaic solar cell can be calculated as: P = V x I = 0.46 x 3 = 1.38 watts. Now this may be okay to power a calculator, small solar charger or garden light, but this 1.38 watts is not enough power to do any usable work.
PV module efficiency is the ratio of the electrical power output Pout, compared to the solar power input Pin, hitting the module. Pout can be taken to be PMAX, since the solar cell can be operated up to its maximum power output to get the maximum efficiency. The efficiency of a typical solar array is normally low at around 10-12%.
Typical PV module produces power with maximum power voltage of around 17V when measured at a cell temperature of 25°C, it can drop to around 15V on a very hot day and it can also rise to 18V on a very cold day.
The power required by our daily loads range in several watts or sometimes in kilo-Watts. A single solar cell cannot produce enough power to fulfill such a load demand, it can hardly produce power in a range from 0.1 to 3 watts depending on the cell area.
