چکیده
This paper presents the performance of solar cells under different electric lighting sources in indoor environments. Experiments are conducted for different solar technologies like polycrystalline Silicon, Amorphous Silicon and DyeSensitized .Measurements are done under illumination from incandescent, fluorescent and LED light sources in this paper. Also, simulations are done to find out the maximum power points of different solar cells under different electrical light sources. And, the output power densities of four types of solar cells have been investigated under three illumination sources encountered in buildings. The results confirm aforementioned significant difference between incandescent, fluorescent and LED light sources.

Improvement of light harvesting by inserting an optical spacer (ZnO) in polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells: A theoretical and experimental study
By introducing a thin ZnO layer as an optical spacer, we have demonstrated that inserting this layer between an active layer and a reflective electrode results in a re-distribution of the optical electric field inside bulk heterojunction solar cells. A theoretical analysis by optical modeling showed that the thin ZnO layer could shift the position of the maximum of the electric field into the a...
متن کاملBattery Charger’s Unique Input Regulation Loop Simplifies Solar Panel Maximum Power Point Tracking
Solar panels have great potential as energy harvesting power sources—they just need batteries to store the harvested power and to provide carry-though during dark periods. Solar panels are relatively expensive, so extracting maximum power from the panels is paramount to minimizing the panel size. The tricky part is a balancing of solar panel size with required power. The characteristics of sola...
