Microchip Technology a Cymbet Corporation, spojili svoje sily a vytvorili vývojový kit, zízskavajúci si energiu z okolia.
Kit pozostáva z modulárnej vývojovej dosky obsahujúcej mikrokontrolér PIC24F16KA102 a z dosky EnerChip EH Eval-08 Energy Harvesting Board, získavajúcej solárnu energiu, ktorú uchováva v bloku EnerChip solid-state.

Ďalej môžu byť pripojené aj PICtail daughter boards, ktoré zvýšia možnosti kitu o rôzne funkcie ako napríklad ZigBee konektivitu, alebo SD Card rozrhranie.
