Answer:

  48.6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Efficiency of energy conversion is the quotient of output energy and input energy.

  (3291 J)/(6771 J) × 100% ≈ 48.6%

The solar panel's conversion efficiency is about 48.6%.

_____

Additional comment

With current (2021) technology, the best efficiency one can expect from a solar panel is in the neighborhood of 23%.
