      "Solaires is building the next generation of photovoltaic (PV) technologies to power the world of indoor electronics. PVs have been part of the indoor PV market for decades, though in limited use. As an example, handheld calculators have been powered by silicon PVs since the late 1970s, but in general silicon PVs are not optimised for harnessing artificial lights. Traditional silicon PVs optimally absorb and generate electricity from sunlight. This is a chemical and physical phenomenon inherent to crystalline silicon. Meanwhile, the LED and fluorescent lighting that illuminate our homes and off",
