Texas Instruments unveiled a solar energy harvesting (SEH) development kit that converts ambient light into power for industrial, transportation, agricultural and commercial applications, including wireless sensor network systems. 
TI said the solution could be used to build self powered solar-based wireless sensor networks, eliminating system batteries, which cost time and money to periodically replace, especially in remote locations. Sampling is underway.
