- Light Intensity: Perovskite solar cells perform well in low-light conditions, which is beneficial indoors where light intensity is typically much lower than outdoors. However, achieving optimal performance under these conditions requires careful design and material optimization.
- Stability and Degradation: While perovskite cells are effective indoors, their long-term stability remains an issue. Environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can lead to degradation over time. Indoor conditions may be more controlled, but stability testing and encapsulation techniques are crucial to maintain performance over extended periods.
- Material Optimization for Indoor Use: To fully exploit perovskite’s potential indoors, optimizing the material composition and structure is necessary. This includes managing defects and interfaces to ensure high efficiency under the specific lighting conditions found indoors.
- Energy Storage Needs: Due to variable indoor lighting conditions, there may be days when energy generation is insufficient to power devices continuously. Therefore, incorporating energy storage solutions (like batteries) is essential to ensure consistent operation of IoT devices powered by perovskite panels.
- Orientation and Placement: The orientation of perovskite solar panels indoors can significantly affect their performance. Optimizing the placement can enhance energy output, but improper positioning can lead to reduced efficiency.
