Like the solar cover, it is separate from the core tablet but connects via a port.

Far Niente turned to SPG Solar to cover part of its reservoir, which it uses for irrigation purposes, with solar panels.
That chip, along with the custom charging circuitry developed by OLPC and Marvell means that the tablet can be charged by a hand crank at a 10:1 ratio (10 minutes of usage time for every minute spent cranking), or by the optional four watt solar panel cover at a 2:1 ratio on sunny days.
Belectric said solar panels would cover approximately seven acres (2.8ha) of the 23 acre (9.3ha) site, known as the Rainbows.
The company said solar panels would cover approximately 10 acres of the site and would be well-screened by existing and additional hedgerows.
The proposed farm will comprise 160, 000 solar panels and cover 200 acres of a former RAF site, now owned by The Science Museum at Wroughton.
Earlier this month, Fetzer Winery flipped the switch on a new installation of solar panels that cover 75, 000 square feet atop its bottling plant and barrel room in sunny Hopland, Calif.
Svensmark then teamed up with Friis-Christensen to review solar activity, cloud cover and cosmic ray levels recorded using satellite data available since 1979.
These technologies include solar tarps large enough to cover a small tent and capable of powering four computers simultaneously.

An iPad cover with its solar cells provides enough juice that the device may never need plugging in, he said.
FORBES: Strategic Investor To Green Tech Startups: Get A Grip
Many students of climate change argue that, although the artificial release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide works to raise the global temperature, particulate pollution should, by promoting cloud cover and thus reflecting solar energy back into space, have a compensating cooling effect.
Over in Gusev Crater, Spirit had been running low on energy as the martian dust began to cover the rover's solar panels.
Rebates: Some states, and even cities and utilities, offer rebates that cover part of the purchase price of a solar-energy system installation.
This is the way it was supposed to work: As solar panel prices fell, solar power would become more affordable, and people everywhere would cover their roofs with glittering panels.
The high-efficiency solar panels, manufactured by Panasonic's Sanyo division, will cover 41-percent of the raceway's energy usage.
ENGADGET: California raceway gets 1,600 solar panels, flaunts green track status
The Solar Impulse is powered by about 12, 000 photovoltaic cells that cover massive wings and charge its batteries, allowing it to fly day and night without jet fuel.
Minutes later he proposed to cover the country with high-speed rail and companies making solar shingles.
Sledge described the operation generously: the rooms teeming to the scrolled plaster ceilings with bud-heavy green stalks, the floor cabled with sprinklers, the walls lined with foil reflectors to maximize the ripening effects of the solar-spectrum lamps, the stereo chattering NPR talk radio to cover the drone of the daytime light banks, and classical music to give the plants a cultural heritage through the cool damp night.
These systems must be smart enough to independently switch back and forth from solar when the sun is out to fuel at night or when there is heavy cloud cover.

Or this: If you could cover an area about the size of Massachusetts in the Southwest U.S. entirely with solar cells, you could generate enough electricity to quench America's need for electric power.
