This board was one of the 2021 Earth Day Challenge winners but now for the 2022 Hackaday prize I am resubmitting it to the Planet-Friendly Power challenge because I have significantly improved it. The poor 2.2V/80mA output only supported low power low voltage applications like BLE and LoRa sensors. Now with the new 3.3V/400mA output also NB-IoT, LTE-M and wifi applications can be made batteryless. I am so excited about Lithium Ion Capacitors because it combines many of advantages of supercapacitors and batteries. The AEMLIC s a tiny board with the AEM10941 Solar Harvesting IC from E-peas. It efficiently converts solar panel energy into LIC charge, it even works with indoor light. The 3.3V output is enabled when the LIC has sufficient charge, and it has a low voltage warning that informs the user of impending shutdown when the LIC runs low. It easily integrates in other projects because of the castellated via's, and when soldered onto 0.1' pitch headers it fits in a bread boar
