Abstract: A LoRaWAN node powered using an 8 cm2 solar cell was designed and its low light harvesting performance evaluated. The embedded system is used to sense some parameters and transmit the results every 10 minutes, using the spreading factor SF7BW125 and transmitting with + 8 dBm, which allows the coverage of a small building. The node can cold start with less than 30 lux. Once started, its operations can be sustained down to 20 lux. Operation at higher spreading factors or higher RF output power is also possible if the transmission interval is increased. Such a performance enables the use of energy autonomous LPWAN nodes in poorly lit environments. The small size of the solar cell makes it possible to build small nodes.
