Global Experts Agree on New Testing Standards for Indoor Solar Cells
What Happened
An international group of 73 researchers from 63 organizations across 22 countries has published the first global consensus guidelines for testing indoor photovoltaic (iPV) devices, which generate electricity from artificial indoor lighting. The framework establishes common methods for measuring performance, reliability and stability, helping ensure results can be compared consistently across laboratories and industries.
Key Takeaways
The new standards are expected to accelerate the commercialization of indoor solar technologies that power sensors, wearables, remote controls and other IoT devices by making performance testing more reliable and comparable worldwide.
