Sinopsis

In recent years, the quest for sustainable energy solutions has led to remarkable innovations in photovoltaic technology, particularly in the niche of indoor applications. One of the most significant advancements in this field has been made by G-Lyte, a French company co-founded by Franck Barath, which specializes in indoor photovoltaics. This technology promises to revolutionize the way we power our everyday devices, from smart home systems to small electronics, by harnessing ambient light more efficiently than ever before.Understanding Indoor PhotovoltaicsTraditionally, photovoltaic cells have been designed for outdoor use, where they can capture sunlight effectively. However, indoor environments present unique challenges, primarily due to the lower intensity of light available. Conventional indoor photovoltaics have struggled with efficiency, typically achieving only between 7% to 11% efficiency, which is insufficient for practical applications beyond powering simple devices like calculators. G-Lyte's inno
