2. Solar-powered calculator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_calculator

   Solar-powered calculators are hand-held electronic calculators powered by solar cells mounted on the device. [1] They were introduced at the end of the 1970s. [2]Amorphous silicon has been used as a photovoltaic solar cell material for devices which require very little power, such as pocket calculators, because their lower performance compared to conventional crystalline silicon solar cells is ...
