PowerFilm Solar Development Kit With E-Peas PMIC & CAP-XX

PowerFilm Solar Development Kit with e-peas PMIC and CAP-XX thin prismatic supercapacitors makes integrating solar into electronics simple. The e-peas AEM10941 is a high-performance energy harvesting circuit that supports multiple storage element charge configurations like Li-Po, Li-ion, LiFePO4, solid-state, and single/double cell supercapacitors. This kit includes thin-film indoor and outdoor solar panels, a 60mAh rechargeable Li-Polymer battery, and dev kit PCBA. The solar development kit can be used in power sources for telematics, smart locks, wireless sensors, wearables, thermostats, and E-paper displays.
