Solar Panel Efficiency explained. Solar panel efficiency is the amount of sunlight (solar irradiance) that falls on the surface of a solar panel and is converted into electricity. Due to the many advances in photovoltaic technology over the last decade, the average panel conversion efficiency has increased from 15% to over 24%.
Solar panel efficiency is measured under standard test conditions (STC) based on a cell temperature of 25 ° C, solar irradiance of 1000W/m2 and Air Mass of 1.5. A solar panel's efficiency (%) is calculated by dividing the module power rating (W), or Pmax, by the total panel area in square meters at an irradiance level of 1000W/m2 (STC).
Increasing the panel size can improve efficiency by creating a larger surface area to capture sunlight, with the most powerful solar panels now achieving power ratings of over 700W. What makes the most efficient solar panels? At present, silicon-based monocrystalline panels are the most efficient type available.
For example, LONGi’s Hi-MO X10 commercial-size module reaches up to 24.8% efficiency and 670W output, while several 700W+ utility-scale modules from Trina Solar, Risen, TW Solar, and Huasun now exceed 24.2–24.8% efficiency, highlighting how innovation at the large-format level continues to raise the bar for the entire industry.
When compared with similar studies, the observed variability in efficiency rates aligns with findings reported in the literature. For instance, studies by Dajuma et al. 62 and Wang et al. 63 have demonstrated that solar panel efficiency is highly sensitive to both solar radiation intensity and environmental conditions.
The solar panel’s operational conditions were measured and utilized to enhance precision. The findings indicated that the average energy efficiency of the panel during daylight hours was 13.60%, with a maximum efficiency of 14.00% and a minimum efficiency of 10.34%.
