- PowerFilm's Research and Development Engineer, Sam Jones, demonstrates the Low-Light Solar Development Kit and a few of the many different devices it can power including a fan, Bluetooth beacon and door lock.
Brilliant!
Thank you so much! We think our indoor solar material is pretty cool too :)
i commented on another video of yours about powering or charging 2x cr123 batteries. i need to stop changing the batteries in my august smart lock, if i could make something work then i would possibly order several. thanks
Brandon, I"m so sorry that I didn't followup with you sooner! I can advise on the best panels to accomplish charging the smart lock. Do you know the voltage of the batteries? Also, please send an email to shansen@powerfilmsolar.com so I can followup and assist you.
@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy 2x cr123 batteries which I think are 3.2 or 3.3 volts. (I have not disassembled the lock to see if they are wired in series or parallel? As you know would affect the voltage)
Hi, I really like the simplicity of this solar development kit. At 6:50, 4 of the panels are wired together. How do you connect the solar cells to each other? I am researching connecting them for powering a very low power microcontroller. Thank you!
Thanks so much for reaching out! I will get with our team on this question and respond as soon as possible. Thanks!
Here is what I heard back from our team. "Panels can be connected in parallel but NOT series since the higher voltage can damage the PMIC. So connect all positive (red) leads together and then all the negative (black) leads together and then connect that to the input of the PMIC." Please let me know if you have additional questions!
@@PowerFilmSolarEnergy Thank you! Parallel is what i was looking for.
Hi, I am working on a similar project powering a BLE module with PV cells. I have all things except the Bluetooth beacon. can you tell me, where can I order the Bluetooth beacon?
Chakra, thanks so much for your comment. Can you please send me an email at shansen@powerfilmsolar.com with more details on your setup? I will connect with engineering and ensure we send you to the proper vendor for the beacon. Thanks!
