Investigation in to Energy Storage of Solar Energy Harvesting Wireless Sensor Network

Solar Energy Harvesting Wireless sensor networks (SEH-WSNs) have enabled a wide
variety of applications that require low cost, low power, remote monitoring due to their ease
of deployment coupled with their ability to operate perpetually. However solar photovoltaic
cells do not produce a consistent energy output throughout the day due to shadowing and
varying sunlight intensity therefore the presence of a high capacity storage solution as well as
an energy buffer is vital for continuous operation.
