Although there is a version that uses a solar panel on the casing berLinkbahan bio-plastics that can be recycled, it appears from the drawing the panel is not enough to produce more than 4 watts of power.

With a power consumption of about 3-4 watts, the solar panels will most likely only be enough to save the data shortly after the battery runs out and perform well shutdown. However, efforts made eco-friendly netbook is admirable.

The next company is a company WeWi Telecommunications one of them. The Canadian company will soon launch a laptop by exploiting solar power.
