This episode looks at how perovskite photovoltaics can reshape the power budget behind an IoT data platform for smart cities. Josh Douglas explains why conventional silicon solar cells struggle with indoor light, off-angle mounting, and rigid glass, and how thin perovskite nanomaterials unlock more flexible, energy-dense LoRaWAN node designs. We connect better energy harvesting to iot data integration platform tools, higher message frequency, and richer sensing that supports edge AI and “physical AI” workloads. You’ll also hear practical details on electrical compatibility, iot data ingestion best practices, and how perovskite modules can often drop in for small silicon panels. The conversation closes with commercialization realities, distribution through familiar channels, and what this means for long-lived devices feeding smart city data platforms. Listen to learn how improved power translates into more capable LoRaWAN deployments and smarter urban infrastructure.
