Original Abstract

The paper describes the possibilities of Energy Harvesting (EH) using photovoltaic single cell energy harvesting. When the efficiency is not the most important parameter single-cell can be cost-effective in many applications. Comparison of the properties of respective technologies shows that for the intended application are most advantageous inorganic thin film cells. It is very important to consider the operating conditions in which EH will work and adapt these conditions to the selection of the photovoltaic cell. Because of very small area of the cell needed for the low energy EH converters the price of the photovoltaic cell is not an important item in the total cost of an EH converter. Simple and reliable low price JFET driven DC to DC converter was designed for this application.
