Energy harvesting from solar cells under typical illumination conditions in buildings
Energy harvesting powered devices have the potential for widespread use in buildings. The most prevalent ambient energy source available in buildings is light, which is normally harvested using photovoltaic devices. The light to be harvested can be from both natural and artificial sources and a range of different types of solar cells are available to suit differing light sources and intensities, and as such must be selected to suit the type of light to be encountered. For use inside buildings it is desirable to choose a device which will operate efficiently under artificial lighting as many locations have limited or no natural light, however, the nature of artificial sources is changing over time from incandescent sources, through fluorescent lights, with LED lights currently attracting significant interest due to energy savings. This paper presents an investigation into the selection of solar cell type for a range of artificial lighting sources and illumination levels.

Abstract
Energy harvesting powered devices have the potential for widespread use in buildings. The most prevalent ambient energy source available in buildings is light, which is normally harvested using photovoltaic devices. The light to be harvested can be from both natural and artificial sources and a range of different types of solar cells are available to suit differing light sources and intensities, and as such must be selected to suit the type of light to be encountered. For use inside buildings it is desirable to choose a device which will operate efficiently under artificial lighting as many locations have limited or no natural light, however, the nature of artificial sources is changing over time from incandescent sources, through fluorescent lights, with LED lights currently attracting significant interest due to energy savings. This paper presents an investigation into the selection of solar cell type for a range of artificial lighting sources and illumination levels.
