Accurate photovoltaic measurement of organic cells for indoor ...
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.
