Electrical performance of the devices.
(a) The energy conversion efficiency decline of the standard and plasmonic cells with and without the heat-pipe plate while the cells are illuminated with one sun. (b) The current density-voltage (J-V) curves of the devices at different configurations: standard and plasmonic solar cells at standard test conditions (STC), plasmonic solar cell operating under one sun without and with the heat-pipe plate integrated. (c) The absorption of the standard and plasmonic cells. (d) The efficiency statistical distribution for the devices under different configurations.
