Featured Projects
A selection of representative projects showcasing our custom solar solutions across different industries and environments.
Asset Tracking
Solar-Powered Cattle Collars
USA · 20,000+ units · Since2025
SolarForIoT’s SMT solar solution integrates into cattle collars, delivering maintenance-free power for livestock tracking, geofencing, health monitoring, and estrus detection in off-grid environments.
- Ultra-thin & lightweight — 2.2 mm, only 16 g
- SunPower Maxeon cells — superior low-light performance
- ETFE + SMT assembly — UV, moisture, and dust resistant
Smart Agriculture
Solar-Powered Weather Monitoring Station
USA · 500+ units · Since 2023
Custom 2.5W ETFE solar panel powers an autonomous crop weather monitoring station in open farmland. Using cost-optimized monocrystalline cells, the panel delivers reliable energy for temperature, humidity, wind speed and rainfall sensors without grid access or frequent battery replacement.
- Mono cells lower cost while maintaining stable field output.
- ETFE surface resists dust, moisture and UV exposure.
- Custom-shaped to perfectly fit the shell design
Environmental Monitoring
Solar-Powered Landslide Monitoring System
USA · 9000+ units · Since 2021
Custom 1.5W ETFE solar panel with sealed edge protection powers an autonomous landslide monitoring sensor in mountainous terrain. Originally designed with monocrystalline cells, the project has since been upgraded to SMT Maxeon cells for higher efficiency in the same compact footprint.
- Sealed edge layer boosts waterproofing for mountain deployment.
- Upgraded to Maxeon cells — more power from the same panel area.
- ETFE surface withstands prolonged humidity and temperature swings.
