What is energy harvesting?
Energy harvesting is the process of capturing small amounts of energy from the surrounding environment and converting it into usable electrical power. Also known as power harvesting, ambient energy harvesting, or energy scavenging. Energy harvesting enables low-power electronic devices to operate without disposable batteries or wired connections.
One common form of energy harvesting is light energy harvesting, where ambient indoor light is converted into electrical power using organic photovoltaic cells.
