Claim 0:
1. A solar-powered tape node, comprising:
a flexible circuit;
a device layer positioned adjacent to the flexible circuit and between a flexible substrate and a flexible cover, the device layer having a plurality of electronic components, each component coupled the flexible circuit, the plurality of electronic components comprising:
a processor,
a memory, and
at least one wireless communication system;

the flexible cover positioned over the device layer and forming a non-adhesive side of the solar-powered tape node;
the flexible substrate having a first aperture in the flexible substrate;
a first adhesive layer on the flexible substrate on an exterior of the solar-powered tape node, the adhesive layer configured to adhere the solar-powered tape node to a surface of an object; and
a solar panel positioned within the first aperture and coupling with the flexible circuit, the solar panel having a light-receiving surface facing away from the flexible circuit and being operable to generate electrical power when light is incident on the light-receiving surface, wherein
the solar-powered tape node is configured to perform wireless communications with a plurality of wireless nodes of a wireless Internet-of-Things (TOT) system using the at least one wireless communication system.
