“…On the other hand, the record e ciency of silicon solar cell is 26.7% up to now [2] for a thickness of 165 μm against the Shockley-Queisser (SQ) limit of 29.4% [3]. And the cost of silicon solar cell has fallen over 70% over the last decade [4], [5], which makes it now a promising candidate for indoor application.…”

This article proposes a photovoltaic system of ultrathin silicon solar cell by using indoor lighting through enhanced shunt resistance, nanostructure of light-trapping, and tubular daylight system for powering the internet of things (IoT) devices. Simulation results show that, by increasing the shunt resistance from 100 Ω.cm2 to 104 Ω.cm2, the efficiency of indoor solar cell can be improved from less than 0.5% to be over 14%. Moreover, with the help of ultrathin wafer and nanostructure of light-trapping to improve the near-infrared light absorption and open circuit voltage, the efficiency of the indoor amorphous silicon (a-Si) heterojunction solar cell can be further improved to be 17.09%. The tubular daylight system is an excellent supplement to the light indoor intensity and thus can increase the power production.

“…The timing of government subsidies can also affect households and the adoption of solar PV (Bauner and Crago, 2015;Langer and Lemoine, 2018). A second literature stream has investigated the reasons for the large and rapid reduction in the costs of solar systems (Reichelstein and Sahoo, 2015). For instance, Bollinger and Gillingham (2019) find when installers learn by doing, this lowers solar prices, primarily related to the non-hardware costs of the solar PV installations.…”
