Abstract

Photovoltaic energy generation is envisaged as an efficient, natural and valuable energy source not only for outdoor but also for indoor applications, even if it is often difficult to give an adequate description of the indoor illumination conditions, and till now no (international) norms regulate the characterization of solar cells under the particular indoor conditions.
