Can we run our low-power electronics indefinitely from solar power? Thanks to www.PCBWay.com/?from=atomic for "powering" the channel over the last couple of years.
I've had my low-power ePaper display up and running for a while - it needs to be recharged every couple of months. But I got to thinking: "Can I run it off solar power?"
After my experiments with solar-powered Christmas lights, I wasn't convinced, but I reckon with a bit of energy scavenging it might actually be possible!
You can pick up the two power scavenging boards from here: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dmx... and here: s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_Dkz... (affiliate links).
