Breaking Free of the Battery Cage: Manufacturing Light Energy Harvesting at Scale

Reading time : 2 min | 01/13/2026

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand its reach into nearly every industry, the need for energy efficient devices at the edge increases as well. The sheer number of devices to be deployed in applications like smart buildings, asset tracking networks, and wireless consumer devices such as remote controls drives the necessity for an alternative to wired- and battery- based architectures. Simply put, OEMs need a sustainable energy-generating technology ready for mass production capable of reducing our dependency on batteries in high-volume applications.

This white paper will explore Organic Photovoltaic (OPV) light energy harvesting technology, a compelling energy generation solution for many low-power applications. Key topics to be covered include the way OPV generates energy and reduces the need for battery-based storage, how to assess a device’s actual energy need to optimize energy generation, and leveraging agile prototyping to quickly integrate OPV light energy harvesting into your design for mass production.
