Solar Panel for Indoor

Post by megool »

Will the indoor lighting also charge this solar panel? It specifically says, "typical outdoor use", and was wondering if it can be used for indoor use with lightings.
If not, is there such at adafruit?

It will produce some output in indoor light. But not nearly as much as it will get from direct sunlight. Full direct sunlight has about 1,000 times as much energy as typical indoor lighting. So, for that 2W panel, you can estimate about 2 millwatts.
