BQ25504 Energy Harvesting boost IC current problem

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ25504

Hi.

We have been using the BQ25504 for a while and it performs well.
But now we have reached the maximum input current from the solar cell which forces us to find another solution / IC.
The problem is that we are only using one cell (300-500mV), and the current handling of the IC is the limiting factor.

So my question is.
Is there any new IC/devices in the pipline that can handle higher current then the BQ25504 ?
Or do anyone have a idea about another solution for our problem ?

Hello Gautham. I am also interested in a higher current version of the bq25504 as my solar cells have a low voltage (1.2V) and a very high current (8A). I am trying to get as much charge current as possible from the cells and the bq25504 is the limiting factor.
