Everywhere humans live and work, some kind of lighting optimized for the human eye is installed. Indoor photovoltaic devices can be operated with it, and often the available light is defined in its spectral range and irradiance following obligatory standards. This eases the design process. Although the classical and well-known IPV products include niche products such as kitchen scales, LED powered lamps, and solar calculators, the potential applications reliably realized with a proper IPV design are as varied as human life. The recent industrial takeoff of the Internet of Things (IoT) with billions of required sensor nodes in the field might drive a wide use of IPV. This section outlines the most common or important application fields for IPV today and in the near future.
