Hey! Yea I've been looking into energy harvesting a bit as well after watching this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGbtzlWb-Kc

Generally the higher frequency you go, the lower range you get as a rule of thumb. It's also harder to design around higher frequency boards, though it's totally doable. That said, I'd love to see how 2.4GHz works out!
