## Abstract

A photoelectric conversion is capable of converting the light energy into electrical power, comprising a tempered glass layer, a lens module, a substrate and a heat sink unit, wherein the lens module is formed from a plurality of lens units, which locate at one side of the tempered glass layer. A gap is formed via a plurality of protruding poles located between the lens units and the tempered glass layer. The gap is filled with transparent rubbers. A plurality of receiving units is located one side of the substrate for dissipating heat energy from the receiving units. The light energy is converted through the receiving units into the electrical energy by focusing the light to the receiving units via the tempered glass layer and the lens module.
