Abstract

This research aims to develop PV cell which utilizes natural and artificial incident light comming into indoors. This breakthrough is done to take advantage of the energy wasted from the low lighting in the room. PV cell of indoor lights is developed by modifying the electrode copper-oxide with some design reactor for PV cells to get the best performance. Optimum performance is obtained with a Vmax 0,988 V and the current (I) maximum 0.635 mA. The measurement results show that cells of Cu2O/Al electrode pair better than the cell uses electrodes Cu2O/Cu, comparison with the efficiency of 122: 1 in indoor lights and 307: 1 in neon lights.
