The increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions in loT networks is being addressed by this research, which looks into energy harvesting technologies to fuel loT devices for autonomous environmental monitoring. We implemented loT sensors with solar, vibration, and thermal harvesters in a variety of settings and ran simulations to estimate energy usage and network communication efficiency. The results showed that solar energy harvesters were the most efficient, meeting up to 80% of the energy needs when operating at peak efficiency. With the system sustaining over 95% communication uptime across scenarios, vibration harvesters performed exceptionally well in urban contexts, while heat harvesters showed potential in industrial settings. These findings demonstrate the strong potential for dependable environmental monitoring through the integration of energy harvesting with loT. The study comes to the conclusion that although solar harvesting is the most feasible energy option at the moment, hybrid models and cutting-edge energy storage strategies should be the focus of future research to further improve the sustainability and efficiency of systems.
