DESCRIPTION
Sol Chip is a leading provider of solar based energy harvesters for low power applications. More info about Sol Chip can be found at www.sol-chip.com Technical information can be found (after registration) at http://www.sol-chip.com/technical_data.asp Standard systems (such as wireless sensors) that are powered today by batteries and thus need battery replacement once in a while, could be powered by Sol Chip’s device for the life of the product and become a maintenance-free autonomous systems. One example can be seen in the following video clip where we removed the batteries from TI’s wireless sensor and power it by our device, enabling maintenance-free indoor and outdoor operation. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hZuYr_CPF4TRANSCRIPT
