Abstract

This paper proposes the design of an efficient ambient solar energy harvesting (SEH) system with enhanced protection for low-power devices. The proposed SEH system is designed and fabricated on a 1.6 mm Flame Retardant 4 (FR4) substrate using EasyEDA software. The harvester consists of a 3 W monocrystalline solar panel, a solar charger module with maximum power point tracking, a lithium-ion rechargeable battery and a battery protection integrated circuit, and a DC–DC converter. Each of the SEH system component modules is optimized for better performance. The proposed energy harvester achieves a peak power conversion efficiency of 81.22% with a total output power of 2.35 W by using a CN3791 battery charger module. This approach is cost-effective, highly sustainable, and virtually maintenance-free. It can be deployed in various low-powered devices such as wireless sensor network nodes and Internet of Things microcontrollers to extend their battery lifetimes, thereby achieving environmental-friendly and sustainable energy harvesting.
