Here, we revisit the world’s oldest but long-ignored photovoltaic material with the emergence of indoor photovoltaics (IPVs); the absorption spectrum of Se perfectly matches the emission spectra of commonly used indoor light sources in the 400 to 700 nm range.
Until recently, with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), indoor photovoltaics (IPVs) that convert indoor light into usable electrical power have been recognized as the most promising energy supplier for the wireless devices including actuators, sensors, and communication devices connected and automated by IoT technology (5, 6).
Compared with the optimal bandgap of 1.3 to 1.5 eV for the standard solar irradiance (21), the optimum bandgap for indoor light sources is 1.8 to 1.9 eV, which induces the maximum S-Q limits of 56 and 57% for LED and FL (7), respectively.
Thus, recent enormous progress in indoor photovoltaics prompts us to highlight the applicability of all three generations of solar cells i.e., crystalline silicon, amorphous silicon and thin films, and organic/dye-sensitized/perovskites working under indoor conditions, challenges and market perspectives in this review. 1. Introduction
Normally, in the design process of a project, a solar behavior analysis (solar radiation) is already carried out on the building, but for already constructed buildings, it is not economically viable! So… What do we do? How much sun and shade your house will have. Check before buying or renting!
The better indoor light spectra can be covered, when the band-gap of material is wider. The maximum theoretical efficiency for phosphor and 3-colour LEDs is close to 60 % with band-gap of 1.9 eV, but in case of AM1.5 the upper limit cumulative efficiency doesn’t exceed 40 % at band-gap of 1.34 eV.
