                         energy industry and development. Conversion of solar radiation 
                         into heat accounts for over 80% of the incident solar energy, 
                         which is driven by several aspects like the chosen design and 
                         encapsulation of the devices, built-in materials, and the mismatch 
                         between the solar spectrum and the active cell's bandgap energy. 
                         Photoacoustic (PA) and photothermal (PT) methods are 
                         characterization techniques based on the heat generation after the 
                         illumination of a material and respective detection. Since the 
                         beginning of the solar panel industrial development, these methods 
                         have been successfully applied to evaluate the photovoltaic 
                         efficiency of devices and the thermophysical parameters of related 
                         materials. Here, we present the state-of-art of application of 
                         these PA and PT methods to characterize solar cell devices and 
                         their built-in materials. Historical aspects, conceptual 
                         mechanisms of the basic phenomena, and perspectives on their 
                         application for energy-conversion measurements in the new frontier 
                         of solar cell research will be discussed.",
