In addition to grid connectivity, there are many small applications particularly under low-light/artificial light conditions. The present review highlights the applications of all three generation solar cells towards indoor photovoltaics . 1.1. Indoor photovoltaics
In this study, we performed a detailed review of the development of various solar cells for indoor applications. It is thus observed that although ISCs are dominating the outdoor solar cell market, they are not suitable for use as indoor light-harvesting units because of their low bandgap energy and poor mechanical flexibility.
Under indoor conditions, however this scenario reverses when light source is FC or LED suggesting Indoor Organic Photovoltaics (IOPVs) are better performers compared to silicon solar cells.
It is evident that solar cells based on soft materials, such as OSCs, DSSCs, and PVSCs, have better applicability for indoor applications because of their mechanical flexibility, low weight, good spectral matching with indoor light sources, high open-circuit voltage, and high PCE.
With the growing development of the Internet of Things, organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells are highly desirable for indoor applications because of the unique features of light weight, flexibility, and coloration.
In the past few years, the development of PV cells specifically designed for harvesting low-intensity diffused indoor light energy has attracted the interest of researchers [ 19, 20, 21, 22, 23 ]. Various PV materials have been employed so far to develop efficient solar cells for indoor applications.
