Indoor solar panels are a specific type of solar panel that generates electricity from indoor light sources using optimized photovoltaic cells. They offer a sustainable energy solution for spaces with limited sunlight and are used to power small electronics, emergency lights, and decorative purposes.
Indoor solar panels are particularly appealing for use in small devices. For some applications, powering devices from artificial light sources removes the need for batteries, making IPV-powered devices a more sustainable alternative.
Therefore, the fabrication of specially designed solar cells for indoor applications is not an easy task. Different parameters of solar cells must be optimized for indoor light conditions. The device should be designed in such a manner that it can operate efficiently under the illumination of the most commonly used indoor light sources.
Indoor PV is often controllable and more predictable than solar irradiation, and so the energy usage and capacity can be reliably anticipated. Therefore, this abundant and reliable light source means the opportunities for indoor devices to be powered by photovoltaics are vast.
