By average photon energy, this paper assessed the practical conversion performance of ten types of photovoltaic materials based on the spectral measurements of Beijing and Changsha, China. Photon energy utilization efficiency was proposed to assess the practical conversion performance of photovoltaic materials at the same aperture area.
The PEU calculated by Eq. (11) takes the extrinsic loss, the below E g loss, and the thermalization loss into account. As the PEU increases, the energy conversion performance of PV materials with the same aperture also increases.
Solar panel efficiency refers to how much of the sun’s energy striking the panel is converted into usable electricity. The more efficient the solar panels are, the more power they will produce. Understanding the key factors that affect solar panel efficiency can help you make informed decisions when shopping for a solar photovoltaic (PV) system.

As the PEU increases, the energy conversion performance of PV materials with the same aperture also increases. Moreover, the weighted photon energy utilization efficiency (WPEU) was proposed to assess the successional energy conversion performance of PV materials with the dynamic spectral distribution. WPEU is expressed by Eq.
