    Solar power has finally caught on to keyboards too. Taiwan-based AU Optronics recently unveiled a solar keyboard, basically a solar sheet measuring 2.1 millimeters thick boasting touch sensitivity. Now you’d wonder what a solar keyboard could do. Get a hold of this. Using a laptop with a solar keyboard out in the open could help power up with solar juice! This keyboard in particular has a smooth surface with a bit of reflectivity, not unlike a solar panel, and measures 14”. Also, it will be built into manufacturer’s laptop sets in future. Also, this one absorbs natural as well as artificial light.


    Plugging in a laptop to a power source every time it runs out of battery charge wont be o much of a concern in future. You could simply power it up with the sun using a keyboard like this!
