• How to operate the solar cell near its peak power point.
• How to correctly size the supercapacitor for a constant power load such as a buck-boost converter,
• Selection of ICs for high efficiency and low quiescent power consumption, supercapacitor ageing, over voltage protection, balancing and leakage current.
