Solar energy click, MIKROE-2814, MikroElektronika
The Solar energy click has a unique feature of encompassing a battery charger and a solar energy harvester in a single package. It uses a ano-power high-efficiency boost charger and buck converter device, designed to work with very low power energy harvesting elements, such as the photovoltaic and thermoelectric generators. The Solar energy click recharges the connected LiPo battery or the onboard supercapacitor, using the photovoltaic element. It can also power up low power consumption devices by using the stored energy, providing a way for continuous power operation of low power devices.
The Solar energy click is an ideal solution for powering wireless sensor networks, environment monitoring devices, portable and wearable health monitoring devices and similar low power self-sustained devices.
