1 where ambient energy is directly converted to electrical energy to power the sensor nodes no battery storage is required as depicted in fig.
The sensor nodes are powered by solar energy harvester instead of alkaline.
Solar energy harvesting that provides an alternative power source for an energy constrained wireless sensor network wsn node is completely a new idea.
The total output solar energy depends on the size of the solar panel but the size constraints associated with sensor node poses limitations towards using a larger sized solar panel.
Wireless sensor networks wsns consist of the finite number of sensor nodes with low cost and low power.
Furthermore we can categorize two types of energy harvesting systems.
