INDYE Consortium Holds Second Progress Meeting at University of Uppsala, Advancing Indoor Photovoltaics for Sustainable IoT Solutions
Uppsala, Sweeden – September 26, 2025 – The INDYE (Indoor Photovoltaics with Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells) consortium successfully held its second progress meeting at the Ångström laboratory of the University of Uppsala on September 26, 2025. The meeting, hosted by Prof. Gerrit Boschloo’s research group, brought together the top members of the INDYE consortium to discuss the accomplishments gained in the last semester towards more efficient and more sustainable photovoltaic devices under ambient illumination sources.
The INDYE project focuses on harnessing indoor light to power small electronic devices, reducing dependence on conventional batteries. By leveraging the versatility and high efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) under diffuse light, the consortium aims to develop eco-friendly photovoltaic (PV) devices optimized for artificial lighting conditions. Key objectives include:
- Enhancing optical compatibility with common indoor light sources.
- Maximizing voltage output under low-light conditions.
- Promoting sustainability through the use of nontoxic, recyclable materials.
The INDYE consortium brings together leading researchers and institutions dedicated to advancing renewable energy solutions for everyday applications. With a strong emphasis on innovation and environmental responsibility, the project paves the way for a greener future in digital technology.
