  By N.Hemalatha, K. Nithya, D.Padmapriya, Sam Stanley SG, Sultanuddin SJ, Neeraj Chandnani, M. Sivakumar Karthikeyan, A.Thilagavathy, B.Karthik

  Abstract: Flexible photovoltaic technologies have emerged as promising energy harvesting solutions for wearable electronics, portable power systems, and Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled smart devices. However, the limited mechanical durability of conventional transparent conductive electrodes and the lack of integrated real-time monitoring restrict their long-term reliability. This study presents an IoT-connected transparent conductive polymer–silver nanowire (PEDOT:PSS–AgNW) hybrid electrode for flexible solar panels, combining high optoelectronic performance with continuous wireless performance monitoring. The …
