Energy balance in energy harvesting applications

A friend of mine contributed to this article, which, while rather EnOcean-specific, still gives a very good overview of the whole general concept of energy-harvesting wireless sensors.

It might give you a little insight into the complexity of making a sensor that, instead of just using very small amounts of energy from a battery, must make do with the even smaller energy available from a small solar cell inside a building.
