Degradable solar cell module can be attached to a leaf | Electronic Specifier

▤ Summary

VTT developed a biodegradable solar cell module that can attach to plants and decompose after the growing season. The project targets agricultural sensing and environmental monitoring, where lightweight, low-power devices can collect data without creating waste. Researchers also built a compostable supercapacitor and wireless sensor modules as part of an international collaboration. The article highlights growing demand for more precise farm measurement technologies driven by regulation, yield optimization, and emissions reduction.
