Abstract
A system and method for generating power from the low-light emissions prevalent in rainforests through a low-light emission solar panel in order to transmit data over a network. The low-light emission solar panels can be formed to have four sets of three cells wired in series, with each of the four sets of three cells wired in parallel. The power generated by the low-light emission solar panels can be used to power a cellphone, which can collect and transmit data over a network to remote users for monitoring.
