Sensor developer Elsys in Sweden is launching their first battery-free products using indoor printed solar cell from Epishine.

The two environmentally friendly carbon dioxide sensor lines use the LoRaWAN low power protocol and are entirely powered by Epishine’s indoor solar cells, with a cover made from biodegradable materials.

传感器驱动与Epishine energ室内光线y harvesting modules do not only function uninterrupted when ambient light is available, but also function continuously for up to seven days in the dark. This results in a solution with very low or no maintenance and with no need to change batteries.
