Sol Chip
Sol Chip Overview
Sol Chip is a an energy-harvesting company offering a maintenance-free, never-ending solar battery and an IoT communication platform.
The company’s charging and control circuitry provides endless energy to small devices, eliminating the need for batteries and wires as a power source. The technology has numerous applications in many markets, including precision agriculture, industrial IoT, smart homes, smart cities, and asset management.
In addition, based on its light chip technology, Sol Chip has developed a complete sensing, command, and control platform for precision agriculture. The SolTag platform can read data from dozens of sensors, deliver it via long-range communication to a crop-specific irrigation and fertilization decision-support system, receive instructions for controlling valves and switches, control the operation of sensors, and provide enough energy to execute all commands.
Sol Chip solutions are designed to produce better crops, improved yields, and a substantial savings in water and chemical costs.
Sol Chip Climate Tech relevance
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interrelated devices that connect and exchange data with other IoT devices and the cloud, and is crucial to many climate-related start-ups because it enables data-driven decisions to save energy, water, and related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Sol Chip has developed a solar panel on a chip that can provide this crucial IoT network with the energy it needs without further contributing to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Due to the fact that it does not need direct sunlight, operates in low light levels including greenhouses and indoor environments, and can mount directly onto a printed circuit board (PCB), it can deliver reliable and everlasting energy, meaning that it can be relied upon instead of non-renewable energy sources. It has also been shown to save 10-25% on water, 20-30% on chemicals for fruit orchards, and increase yield by 30-40%, further reducing emissions and thus its impact on the climate.
