Considering the IoT in relation to the collection of field data, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) offer a practical and efficient method. But the small battery capacities connected to each cluster head of a WSN may have a limit on how long it can last. The utilization of energy harvesting techniques to refill cluster head batteries is a growing trend in WSNs to overcome this difficulty and extend their lifespan. In order to satisfy the requirements of a realistic WSN system, this work explores a scenario of WSNs that includes cluster heads that can harvest solar energy. The hardware and software requirements, the methodology and the implementation are discussed in this paper.
