Glass Indoor Solar Cell Module (1-cell)

How does it work?

Glass Indoor Solar Cell Module (1-cell) is a compact and ready-to-use energy-harvesting solution based on the AMG-1401C solar cell offering the same high-performance characteristics as the original cell but with key mechanical and connectivity enhancements that transform it from a bare cell into a fully functional module. This version integrates the AMG-1401C solar cell onto a precisely designed PCB, allowing immediate usage without requiring additional mounting or handling. On the backside of the PCB, the module provides two solderable connector pads intended for attaching standard connectors (DS1069-11), providing electrical interfacing in prototyping or final application designs. In addition to these connectors, the PCB incorporates clearly marked positive and negative pads on all sides, giving engineers full flexibility to access the cell from any direction or to create custom wiring approaches when integrating the module into tight or uniquely shaped enclosures.

Product package also includes two 15cm female-to-female wire jumpers, one black and one red, providing immediate plug-and-play connectivity options for testing or prototyping. At the core of the module lies the AMG-1401C, a hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cell commonly referred to as an Amorton cell and designed for indoor low-power applications. It features a nearly perfect black-reflective surface that significantly improves efficiency, offering more than a 20% performance increase compared to typical models.

Built on a 1.1mm glass substrate, the cell delivers approximately 8μW/cm² under 200 lux illumination and can maintain reliable harvesting even under low artificial lighting, making it ideal for IoT devices, watches, remote controls, sensor nodes, asset trackers, and similar low-power electronics. Its external dimensions are only slightly larger than the active area, ensuring highly efficient use of available space in the final design. With a maximum output power of 77.8μW at 200 lux and an operating voltage of 2.2V, the module is compatible with a wide range of modern power-management ICs, allowing integration into energy-harvesting systems that require compact size and dependable performance in low-light environments.
