The short answer is yes, it is technically possible for solar panels to generate a small amount of electricity from artificial light. But that electricity is negligible in amount – nowhere near what sunlight can produce. This transformation occurs at the atomic level. Department of Energy (DOE), solar panels are designed to capture energy from sunlight, which provides a full spectrum of wavelengths necessary for efficient energy conversion. DSSCs consist of a semiconductor material sandwiched between two conducting electrodes. This is because artificial light lacks the irradiance intensity and full light spectrum that solar panels require. Mimicking. . Retrofitting outdoor lights with solar power offers numerous advantages.
