Photovoltaic technology - or the direct conversion of light into
electricity - is the fastest growing means of electricity
generation today, however it is generally used outdoors. Relatively
little attention has been focused on the many obstacles to overcome
when designing efficient indoor products. As a result, indoor
products are more often than not limited to low power.

Designing Indoor Solar Products pulls together a wealth of
information on photovoltaic technologies and their applications.
It will be of practical interest to engineers and designers of
sensor systems planning on using photovoltaic technology for
power, whilst the theoretical approach will appeal to those in
academia in the related areas of environmental engineering,
sustainable development as well as building and product design.
