AN INDOOR SYSTEM AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN INDOOR SYSTEM

摘要

An indoor system comprises: a control unit; a rechargeable energy storage medium configured to provide power; and an energy harvesting module configured to generate electric power for charging the storage medium. The energy harvesting module may comprise a DSSC module. The DSSC module may comprise a single DSSC cell configured to output a voltage that is boosted by a voltage booster to a fixed or variable output voltage. Alternatively the DSSC module may comprise a plurality of DSSC cells connected in series. In the latter case the device may be configured so that the DSSC module may charge the storage medium directly. The system may be used for increasing the energy efficiency of a building, alternatively for environmental monitoring for comfort or horticulture.
