Indoor photovoltaics (IPV) - sometimes known as indoor solar panels - may seem like a contradictory statement, but this technology shows great potential across many industries. IPV consists of conventional photovoltaic technology but instead of using sunlight to promote conductivity, they use energy from artificial 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.
Integrated energy systems (IESs) for residential buildings offer a holistic solution to these challenges [3, 4]. By integrating heat pumps, domestic hot water (DHW) tanks, photovoltaic (PV) panels, and battery systems, IESs can efficiently manage the energy flows within households .
