Abstract
Sol Chip has developed a breakthrough technology addressing the needs of remote or mobile devices that operate autonomously to prolong their battery life thus reducing environmental hazard. SolChip Solar Battery harvests light energy to power billions of individual appliances.
SolChip Solar Battery replaces current discrete and complex solar cells based solutions with a simple integrated solution.
Sol Chip managed to integrate into a stamp-size battery the electronics and the solar cell required to power low power applications.
While harvesting outdoor day light, SolChip Solar Battery can power the application around the clock, 24 hours a day.
Therefore, SolChip Solar Battery can provide continuous maintenance free operation for 10-15 years, eliminating the need to replace batteries during the entire life of the product.
Sol Chips first customer from the irrigation field, will use SolChip Solar Battery to power its wireless sensors and irrigation valves.
Sol Chips technology utilizes low-cost manufacturing, while decreasing design complexity and increasing overall power efficiency, thus reducing system cost by more than 50%. Sol Chips product is in beta site stage.
Sol Chips solution provides maintenance free solution that eliminates the need to replace the batteries at all.
