Trends in low power IoT design
summary
Energy harvesting is shown as production ready: tens of millions Samsung battery-free remotes and multi-year field devices (5–8 years) exist, Epishine AB ships roll-to-roll organic PV, e-peas supplies power‑management ICs, Nichicon offers LTO cells in mass production since 2019. Solar dominates (about 90% of projects), with heat harvesting (hot water thermoelectrics), button-press and dedicated RF charging for niche cases, and cautions about real-world coverage, integration and edge-case testing.
