And the Solar panel demo was impressive. 
 We are very interested in integrating solar panel with nRF52 on our upcoming BLE products. 
 It would be great if the Nordic team can share its prototype&amp;#39;s design for us to take reference</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2018 07:27:52 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/10009/solar-panel-reference-design-for-nrf52" /><item><title>RE: Solar panel reference design for nRF52</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/160668?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Dec 2018 07:27:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:24ca2418-c103-4704-8ad7-1be4dc4eafa5</guid><dc:creator>Einar Thorsrud</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;

You can see the most important aspects of the design from the &lt;a href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/4/solar_5F00_beacon_5F00_schematic_5F00_and_5F00_pcb.pdf"&gt;schematic&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The beacon is designed to operate continuously with brightness down to 400 lux, where it will advertise a packet every second. Then the average power consumption will be approximately 19 µA. It can operate in darker conditions as well, but then it will be powered down for periods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
