Mouser stocks the industry’s widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, including the following solutions for alternative energy applications:

• The EliteSiC family of devices from onsemi addresses the needs of demanding applications like solar inverters, electric vehicle chargers, and uninterruptible power supplies. The devices are a comprehensive portfolio of energy-efficient silicon carbide (SiC) diodes, MOSFETs, modules, and gate drivers.
• The NEH2000BYJ power management IC (PMIC) by Nexperia is a high-performance energy harvesting solution using a photovoltaic (PV) cell for low-power applications, such as rechargeable batteries. Any harvester that fits the specifications of the chip can be used and is suitable for wearable devices, wireless IoT devices, industrial monitoring, and consumer electronics.
• The AEM30300 RF energy harvesting battery charger from e-peas is a highly versatile buck-boost ambient energy manager battery charger for AC/DC sources. This charger extends battery lifetime and can even eliminate the primary energy storage element in applications like asset tracking/monitoring, industrial, retail ESL/smart sensors, aftermarket automotive, and smart home/building.
• The Solar Development Kit by PowerFilm is a high-performance energy harvesting circuit that supports multiple storage element charge configurations. It features CAP-XX thin prismatic supercapacitors with high power output for peak current loads and storage element voltage protection. This kit includes thin-film indoor and outdoor solar panels, a 60mAh rechargeable Li-Polymer battery, and a dev kit PCBA, which can be used in power sources for telematics, smart locks, wireless sensors, and more.
