The Internet of Things demands a low-cost, stable, and efficient power source. Indoor photovoltaics (PV) meets this need by harvesting white light used inside buildings. We will highlight the differences between designing and operation of PV cells meant for outdoors vs those for indoors, providing examples in organic solar cells and focusing our attention on the development of perovskite solar cells that have pushed indoor PV efficiency beyond the 30% range, as well as potential applications for this technology.
