BQ24072T: Confirm if BQ2407xT family IC can be used for harvesting purposes

Part Number: BQ24072T
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: BQ24650,

Hi Team,

Our customer would like to confirm if our BQ2407xT family IC can be used for harvesting purposes.
The intention of harvesting in the customer application is to supply a device with a battery and use solar panels to charger it.

The customer is aware that this device has no feature for harvesting but would to confirm if he connects a solar panel in the BQ2407xT input, the battery will be charged with any problem?

If the device above and the customer design plan is not possible above, do we have an IC that can suits the customer requirement below:
28V input voltage, power path and battery charger features with 5V/3A output

The nearest possible I saw so far is BQ24650. But base on the customer, if he will be using BQ24650, the questions is, do they have to add some circuitry to supply their load with battery while it chargers?

Let me know if you need clarification in the above inquiry.

Thanks!

Jonathan
