solar-powered calculator









































solar-powered calculators are hand-held electronic calculators powered by solar cells mounted on the device. they were introduced at the end of the 1970s.









































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 more than offset by their lower cost and simplified deposition onto a substrate. the first solar powered calculators available in the late 1970s included the royal "solar 1", the sharp "el-8026", and the teal "photon".

bullet::::- though initially the installation may be costlier, in the long term it would turn out to be cheaper because it does not use power from the utility grid and may provide savings up to 30 percent on air conditioning costs.









































bullet::::- risk of electric accidents are eliminated as there are no electric cords attached to the solar fan.









































bullet::::- a cordless appliance offers much more mobility compared to conventional fans.
