In the IoT space there are several examples of LoRaWAN devices that have adopted
energy harvesting. Below are a couple of nteresting examples showing for different use
cases why energy harvesting makes perfectly sense.
Wildfire Detection Nodes
Solar-powered LoRaWAN gas and
particle sensors to detect wildfire
smoke within minutes
