Relatively little attention has been focused on the many obstacles to overcome when designing efficient indoor products. As a result, indoor products are more often than not limited to low power. \u003ci\u003eDesigning Indoor Solar Products\u003c\/i\u003e bridges this gap by showing where AES (Ambient Energy Systems) based on photovoltaic cells may be used for higher power devices.  \u003cp\u003eMotivated by both financial and ecological arguments, this book:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eCo-ordinates a wide-reaching range of scientific information regarding photovoltaic technologies and their application to indoor spaces.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyses power management, power availability, technological selection and design methodologies.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUses real-life examples and case studies to demonstrate the arguments made.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePresents information in such a way as to make it accessible even to engineers with basic electrical knowledge.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eDesigning Indoor Solar Products\u003c\/i\u003e pulls together a wealth of information on photovoltaic technologies and their applications. It will be of practical interest to engineers and designers of sensor systems planning on using photovoltaic technology for power, whilst the theoretical approach will appeal to those in academia in the related areas of environmental engineering, sustainable development as well as building and product design.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the author.\u003c\/b\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePreface.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcknowledgements.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntroduction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.
