Switch to solar with a system built for you. Solar lighting mainly refers to outdoor lighting that’s powered by natural energy from the sun. There are indoor applications, but they’re just starting to ...

Researchers have developed lead-free indoor solar panels that convert artificial light into electricity with record-breaking efficiency.

In your home, you probably have a handful of gadgets that rely on batteries: remotes, smoke detectors, wireless keyboards. But instead of having to replace those batteries again and again, those ...

In the sterile, LED-lit gloom of an office, a solar panel is about as useful as a sundial. Traditional silicon cells are built for the unfiltered fire of the Sun but work miserably with artificial ...

Conventional solar cells are just that: photovoltaic devices which, by their physics, extract and transform energy from the sun. Their sensitivity and efficiency are matched to the optical-energy ...

An international research team has improved the performance of perovskite indoor photovoltaics by tuning the absorber bandgap ...

Safer and more environmentally friendly indoor solar panels could soon help power electronics in homes and offices, thanks to University of Queensland researchers. A team of chemical engineers led by ...

Associate Professor Mojtaba Abdi-Jalebi and PhD candidate Siming Huang with panels of their solar cells optimised for indoor light. An international team led by UCL (University College London) ...

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024 in Las Vegas is a key platform for innovators who want to demonstrate how the burgeoning influence of photonics will reshape how we use technology. ZDNET sorts ...

From Wi-Fi-connected home security systems to smart toilets, the so-called Internet of Things brings personalization and convenience to devices that help run homes. But with that comes tangled ...

It’s 3:00 a.m., and you are blissfully deep in slumber. Suddenly, a sharp, short beep rudely wakes you. The low-battery warning of a carbon monoxide alarm going off in the middle of the night is ...

A minimalist molecular coating enables organic devices to generate power and detect light indoors, resolving a materials interface problem while improving efficiency, scalability, and cost. (Nanowerk ...
