Ok, anyone want to pull the physics apart on this?https://www.ebord.coEven if a m², pulling enough from ambient indoor light will struggle to sensibly charge a phone. That, and inductive charging “anywhere” on the surface is less than simple…

@revk It's on a .co domain. That's never a good sign (unless from Colombia, which they're not).

@revk They say 10-20Wh ( https://www.ebord.co/tecnologia-eng/ ) - so not a vast amount; they say 600x490=~0.3m^2 - but I'm getting under 100mW from https://www.powerfilmsolar.com/products/electronic-component-solar-panels/indoor-light-series at the 1000 lumen (bright window?) level.

@penguin42 @revk I wonder how many years one of those indoor cells would take to recover its cost, either in money or in CO₂?

@RupertReynolds @revk Significantly longer than the average life of a glass topped coffee table before someone drops something on it.
