Energy Harvesting

Energy harvesting uses ‘ambient’ energy from the environment such as heat, light or movement to supply ultra power electronic IoT devices. Typically used in conjunction with another power source to extend battery life and in many cases can enable the IoT device to be powered indefinitely.
