What if You Never Had to Charge Your Gadgets Again?

    So, imagine this scenario: You want to add a new light switch to a room. In the past, you would likely hire an electrician to put holes in your wall, run new wiring to a switch box and install the switch itself. In the future, a solar-powered switch compatible with the new wireless communication standards coming to connected devices could go anywhere you like, in any room of your house, and attach to the wall with little more than some removable adhesive.

    Multiply that scenario by every possible combination of sensors and switches that could be used in every industrial and commercial setting you can imagine, and you start to get an idea of just how much potential a humble indoor solar cell could unlock.
