Photovoltaics as a technology contributing to the implementation of the idea of sustainable development is constantly developing, and its applications can be extended to indoor conditions, where artificial light can be converted in order to power remote electrical devices. The objective of this work was to investigate and evaluate the performance of three types of commercial mini modules such as monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si), polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) and dye-sensitized (DSSC) under the illumination of incandescent, LED and halogen lamps which varied in power, luminous flux and color temperature. The light sources were characterized by irradiance spectra and the current-voltage characteristics of the illuminated modules were measured. For all studied cases, the generated electric power per unit area was determined and discussed. The findings indicate the potential of DSSCs especially in the area of matching the light source intensity spectrum to the absorption range of the sensitizing dye. DSSC mini module accompanied by artificial LED lighting is suggested as the most energy saving prospective solution.
