Swedish tech firm Exeger has introduced the 'Powerfoyle Shield', a collaboration with Nordic Semiconductor, designed for the Thingy:91 cellular IoT platform. This shield, crafted from Exeger's innovative Powerfoyle photovoltaic material, enables devices to harvest energy from both indoor and outdoor light without the need for direct sunlight. The initiative aims to enhance power management based on fluctuating light and battery conditions, ultimately extending device longevity, and diminishing the frequency of battery replacements.
