  • Abstract
    A micro-power circuit for photovoltaic energy harvesting applications is presented. The system can work in different lighting power ranging from a few tens of microwatts to milliwatts maintaining tracking of the maximum output power operational conditions of the photovoltaic cells. The energy harvesting efficiency ranges from 30 to 70%.
