Mikroe MIKROE-2814 Solar Energy Click

Mikroe MIKROE-2814 Solar Energy Click includes a battery charger and energy harvester in a single package. This click uses Texas Instruments BQ25570 boost charger and buck converter device designed to work with very low-power energy harvesting elements. Mikroe MIKROE-2814 Solar Energy Click recharges the connected LiPo battery or the onboard 220mF supercapacitor using the photovoltaic element. The solar energy click can power up low power consumption devices using the stored energy. Typical applications include wireless sensor networks, environmental monitoring devices, and low-power self-sustained devices.
