Feasibility study of using optical fibers as a light guide for indoor solar panel with analysis of output efficiency

Solar energy is now a reasonable alternative to reduce our dependency on fossil fuel. However, the photovoltaic (PV) cell performance may degrade with high temperature. The PV panel will perform at its best as it gets more sunlight, but excessive heat exposure can reduce their efficiency in turning...
