Recently, the development of highly efficient PV cells for indoor applications has attracted tremendous attention. Therefore, different types of PV materials, such as inorganic, dye-sensitized, organic, and perovskite materials, have been employed for harvesting low-intensity indoor light energy.
Solar Cells Based on Organic Materials for Indoor Applications Similar to DSSCs, solar cells based on organic materials are promising for indoor applications. Several years after the first development of OSCs, we have achieved an efficiency of approximately 17.4% for outdoor applications (NREL best research cell efficiency table).
Therefore, the fabrication of specially designed solar cells for indoor applications is not an easy task. Different parameters of solar cells must be optimized for indoor light conditions. The device should be designed in such a manner that it can operate efficiently under the illumination of the most commonly used indoor light sources.
In this study, we performed a detailed review of the development of various solar cells for indoor applications. It is thus observed that although ISCs are dominating the outdoor solar cell market, they are not suitable for use as indoor light-harvesting units because of their low bandgap energy and poor mechanical flexibility.

Various PV materials have been employed so far to develop efficient solar cells for indoor applications.
