Factors Affecting Conversion EfficiencyDetermining Conversion EfficiencyAdditional InformationResearchers measure the performance of a PV device to predict the power the cell will produce. Electrical power is the product of current and voltage. Current-voltage relationships measure the electrical characteristics of PV devices. If a certain "load" resistance is connected to the two terminals of a cell or module, the current and voltage being...See more on energy.govCenter for Sustainable Systems
