The proposed system is based on the commercially available solar energy harvesting integrated circuit (IC) solution AEM10941 developed by Belgium-based E-peas. The AEM10941 system is an integrated energy management circuit that extracts DC power from up to 7-cell solar panels to simultaneously store energy in a battery and supply the system wi…
