Solar Powered Radio From 1956
This radio of half a century ago would seem to have more advanced battery capacity that current solar battery solutions. It should come as no shock that little financial interest was placed on this type of device.

Four Transistors! Solar Power! Who needs a Voltaic when you have this? The best top 40 AM radio delivered without changing batteries. Who knew that the year that brought us Elvis Presley’s Hound dog, I walk the line by Johnny Cash and Blue Suede Shoes by Carl Perkins also brought us the solar powered radio.
