Machinery has always been used by mankind to help individuals perform work more effectively. Technology, reduced to its basic components, is just like any tool that we use: it’s an extension of the human so that we can perform our work and responsibilities a little easier. In this article, we’ll focus on the use of …
Swedish and Chinese scientists have developed organic solar cells optimised to convert ambient indoor light to electricity. The power they produce is low, but is probably enough to feed the millions of products that the internet of things will bring online. For more information see the IDTechEx report on Energy Harvesting Microwatt to Megawatt 2019-2029.  As the internet of …

The AEMLION is a 0.8×0.6 inch (20x15mm) PCB with the AEM10941 Solar Harvesting IC from E-peas. It efficiently converts solar energy into Li-ion battery charge, it even works with indoor light. It features 3.3V and 1.8V regulated outputs that are enabled when the battery has useful charge and a low battery warning that informs the user of impending …
Description This is a 1×1 inch PCB module with two tiny solar cells, a highly efficient Li-Ion battery charger and with two regulated outputs (3.3V and 1.8V). It harvests enough power from indoor light to power a simple BLE or LoRa sensor. The board has castellated vias so it can be surface mount soldered onto …
Description After 3 years of development, this open source project is nearing completion. From its modest beginnings it has evolved into a rather sophisticated device with a USB interface, powerful USB charging ports, a 20×4 character LCD, a rotary encoder with push button, precision measurement of everything from voltages and currents to temperatures. There are …
In this post we will briefly discuss about MPPT Based Charge Controller Using Pic Microcontroller. Photovoltaic is one of the renewable energy resources that recently has become broader in nowadays technology. The electricity generations of photovoltaic (PV) panels are strongly related with insolation and temperature. The insolation and temperature are not stable, since the electricity …

All electronics projects need power. Power can come from either stored energy in a battery, or directly from mains AC voltage or DC power from renewable sources such as solar energy. Power Management ICs (PMICs)help manage the power requirements in a system including scaling voltages, battery charging, and DC-DC conversion. Choosing the right PMIC can make …
