FLEXWAVE recognizes this challenge and highlights how high-efficiency energy harvesting could be the key to addressing it. To demonstrate the potential of this technology, FLEXWAVE conducted an extreme test on Solar-Navi, the world’s smallest solar GPS tracker.

On Nov. 21, FLEXWAVE deliberately drained Solar-Navi’s battery to 3.0V, disabling GPS functionality and reducing the device to energy harvesting mode. The tracker was placed on the rooftop of FLEXWAVE’s headquarters, exposed solely to natural sunlight. By the next afternoon, Nov. 22, the battery voltage reached 3.6V, enabling GPS functionality to resume.

For the next 20 days, Solar-Navi sustained operations entirely on sunlight, continuously tracking and recharging its 1800mAh battery. By December 11, the battery reached 100% capacity, generating 1,949 uninterrupted GPS location records during this period. This real-world test validated the efficiency and reliability of FLEXWAVE’s energy harvester.

Bridging Sustainability, Net-Zero Technology, and Smart Cities

FLEXWAVE’s test demonstrates the potential of energy harvesting to drive the integration of environmental sustainability, net-zero technology, and smart city development:

1. Reducing Battery Waste: High-efficiency energy harvesting extends device lifespans, drastically reducing the environmental burden of battery manufacturing and disposal. This aligns with global sustainability goals by curbing the alarming levels of battery waste.
2. Minimizing Maintenance Costs: Autonomous power solutions eliminate the need for frequent battery replacements, significantly cutting maintenance costs and ensuring seamless operations in remote IoT deployments.
3. Ensuring Operational Resilience: Continuous, self-sustaining power enables uninterrupted functionality for critical IoT applications, unlocking transformative potential in areas such as healthcare and environmental monitoring.

Conclusion

The Solar-Navi’s success demonstrates the transformative potential of FLEXWAVE’s high-efficiency energy harvesting solutions.

By addressing global concerns such as battery waste, operational costs, and power reliability, FLEXWAVE is paving the way for sustainable, autonomous smart devices. These innovations not only align with environmental and technological goals but also contribute to building smarter, greener cities for a sustainable future.

TAIWAN EXPO is aiming to strengthen relations between Taiwan and ASEAN countries. It has become the flagship exhibition that TAITRA demonstrating Taiwanese industries and the best platform for companies from both sides to connect each other ever since 2017.

In addition to showcasing advanced technologies and products, there will be business meetings and industrial forums to enhance B2B transaction. Last but not least, you could also attend wonderful activities such as Zumba Fest, road run event or opening ceremony to experience the culture of Taiwan.

As one of the Merit Award Team of APICTA, FLEXWAVE is honored to represent Taiwan as one of the innovative teams in “Net Zero” pavilion at the 2024 Taiwan Expo in Thailand, from November 21 to 23.

We will present our high-efficiency energy harvesting solutions based on Arc-solar Box, and demonstrate our contributions on integrating “Net Zero” with the evolution of Smart Cities.

國臺灣形象展邀請函

Overcoming the challenge of weak and indoor lighting has long been a significant hurdle for crystalline Si PVs due to mismatched energy bandgap and the low power density of artificial lamps. For instance, a 1000 lux T5 lamp has an energy density of just 0.19 mW/cm², about 2/1000 that of sunlight (1 Sun = 100 mW/cm²). Under such conditions, conventional crystalline Si typically achieves around 10-12% efficiency.

In 2023, FLEXWAVE’s waveguide PV technology revolutionized the field by pushing the power conversion efficiency of mono-Si based PV modules beyond 20% under fluorescent light for the first time (employed 22% PERC). This milestone was showcased at EUPVSEC; menawhile, the waveguide encapsulation enables to capture photons from an incident angle of 176 degrees, as demonstrated through the masking experiments.

This year, we’ve broken our own record by pairing this technology with the latest 24.6% TOPCon solar cells, achieving an unprecedented 23.97% for mono-Si based PVs under indoor lighting conditions certified by the Photovoltaics Calibration Labotary of ITRI. This remarkable performance enhancement proves that the micro-concentration benefits of waveguide can effectively address the bandgap mismatch, enabling high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon cells to maintain substantial power output even in low-light environments.

This mass-produced module not only puts mono-Si at the forefront of the low-light energy harvesting market but also declares a competitive efficiency compare to the commercialized thin-film PVs. Additionally, silicon materials boast a proven track record of over 40 years of durability in outdoor applications, which ensuring extremely reliable performance both indoors and out.

Join us in celebrating this groundbreaking achievement as we continue to lead the way in energy harvesting innovation and deliver the best performance for the Smart and Net Zero future!

FLEXWAVE is thrilled to announce that its “PV Energy Harvesters for IoTs” solution has once again been awarded the 1500+ Efficient Solution License by the Solar Impulse Foundation.

The solution can collect scattered light efficiently with no angle limitation. On a sunny day, the power gained is more than an AAA battery. The goal is to gain more power but use smaller sizes than others in order to make a difference. Just like Iron man’s power source Arc reactor, FLEXWAVE is powering IoT device.

Since receiving the Effective Solution Label in 2021, our launched high-efficient energy harvesters have cumulatively contributed to reducing electronic waste by over 21.6 million battery-wastes annually, which is equivalent to mitigating more than 2,300 tons of carbon dioxide emissions each year!

Continuing our commitment to developing even more efficient energy harvesting systems, we aspire to collaborate with more partners to construct a smart and sustainable future with net-zero visions.
