Light Energy Harvester Powered Wirepas Mesh Network Anchors

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) continues to evolve and as systems grow in scale new challenges become apparent. For example, how do you efficiently increase the scale and coverage of IoT networks whilst maintaining functionality, how do you replace battery powered devices when the batteries have lost charge? Such challenges are becoming apparent as […]

A Universal Multiplexer and Reference Cell

Executive Summary Indoor photovoltaics are becoming important devices in the growth of energy harvesting technologies. They can be discovered powering wearables and IoT devices and sensors [1]. Lightricity recently introduced the LightBox Indoor Light Simulator and this has been well received by researchers, standards laboratories and those designing and developing products incorporating indoor photovoltaic (PV) […]

Powering the watch

Solar for watches

This whitepaper explores how solar power is reshaping watch and wearable design by reducing dependence on battery replacement while supporting greater functionality. It traces the evolution from mechanical and quartz watches to solar-powered and connected timepieces, then explains why higher-efficiency photovoltaic technology is now critical for compact devices with rising power demands. The paper highlights […]

Lightricity advances Deployable Solar Power for Small Satellites

Lightricity has completed a £1.1 million UK Space Agency-funded project with AVS UK Ltd and the University of Leicester to develop a roll-out flexible solar blanket for small satellites.

The prototype combines ultra-thin multi-junction solar cells with a compact deployment mechanism, helping increase power density, extend mission life, and support more capable satellite payloads.
