Anglia Components has partnered with Anysolar, providing a new PCB-mounted photovoltaic solar cell line for customers enabling designs to be powered from light energy harvested from the environment rather than or alongside a battery or mains source.
The line is a new product range for the company and comprises small, efficient solar cells, also referred to as Solar BITs, and solar modules.
The range includes devices that can be reflow soldered onto PCBs and parts compatible with conventional hand soldering processes. Based on monocrystalline silicon-free from impurities, the cells do not degrade over time like some other solar technologies. This enables the solar cells to give stable energy-conversion efficiency over the life of the product.
Commenting on the partnership, David Pearson, technical director at Anglia, said, “Anglia is delighted to partner with Anysolar for this new product range which complements many of our established lines, such as low power MCUs and sensors. Anysolar provides a viable alternative power source for many of our customer's applications, such as remote IoT sensor nodes.”
KY Choi, president of Anysolar, added, “We are delighted to partner with a distributor that is so well-respected in the UK and Ireland industry. We really value our relationships with our customers and look for partners that share that value. Our solar modules offer Anglia customers an environmentally friendly new power source for their designs.”
