[sci.energy] SOLAR CELLS WITH HIGHPWER TO AREA RATIO

rajha@girtab.usc.edu (T.R. Rajha) (06/21/91)

I am looking for a solar cell that can charge a NiCd battery in a
device while the device is in its standby mode.

There are a few important considerations:

The device will be used mostly indoors. Therefore the solar cell 
should be able to operate in the indoor ambient lighting including
incandecent and fluorescent lights. 

The solar cell should have a high power to area ratio.

It should be able to deliver a charge of approx. 50 mA at 4 volts

It should fit in area of approx. 60 sq. cm

If you are aware of the existence of solar cells that meet or atleast
come close to meeting these specifications, please email me at

Thanks very much.
