Islamabad, (Newsman): Solar technology is advancing, enabling energy collection from low-light and indoor sources.
California-based Ambient Photonics has developed dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) that can operate in minimal light conditions, including from LED and halogen lamps.
These cost-effective cells are capable of powering low-energy devices like remote controls and keyboards, eliminating the need for disposable batteries and helping to reduce e-waste.
Another innovation, bifacial solar cells, can capture light from both sides, tripling energy efficiency and ensuring functionality even in low-light environments.
This technology is already being integrated into electronics, supporting eco-friendly designs and minimizing environmental impact.
With a manufacturing facility in California and plans to expand by 2025, Ambient Photonics is leading the way towards battery-free devices and a more sustainable future.
Low-light solar cells have the potential to revolutionize electronics, making them smarter and greener while decreasing reliance on traditional batteries.
