Indoor solar cells, or indoor photovoltaics, efficiently harness solar power from artificial light sources, such as LED lights, fluorescent bulbs, and incandescent lamps. Designed to operate under lower light intensities and the specific spectrum of indoor lighting, these cells are ideal for powering low-energy electronic devices and sensors in smart homes, offices, and industrial settings. Advancements in technology have significantly distinguished these cells from earlier iterations, opening numerous possibilities for integrating solar power into various indoor applications.
By harnessing ambient indoor light, these cells play a crucial role in reducing carbon footprints by minimising disposable battery use and dependence on non-renewable energy sources. This aligns with global efforts to combat climate change. As technology advances, indoor solar cells are increasingly enhancing energy efficiency and sustainability, making them particularly well-suited for small electronic devices, smart home systems, and IoT applications. The market for indoor solar cells is rapidly growing, driven by the rising demand for sustainable solutions, ongoing advancements in solar technology, and heightened environmental awareness. Investments in research and development are focused on improving their efficiency and integration capabilities, further expanding their market presence in residential, commercial, and industrial environments.
