This thesis investigated the possibility of integrating a small photovoltaic module in a wireless sensor network node prototype made for use in crop production, mainly in greenhouses. The main question was if the simple photovoltaic module could provide enough power to the prototype's recharge system in order to continuously recharge the battery and thereby reducing the time maintaining the device due to its power consumption. Through measurements, both of the energy supplied by the potential photo voltaic modules and the prototype's power demand, the conclusion was that the power would not be sufficient due to the concealing environment in which the device would be placed. However, suggestions for further work was given in how the proposed idea could be developed.
