## Claims

### Claim 1

An apparatus for providing power to electronic device having a front side including an electronic display screen, and rear side, and a battery, said apparatus comprising:
a transparent first solar panel integrated with the electronic display;
a second solar panel disposed on the rear side of the electronic device;
said second solar panel including first and second sections disposed in spaced relation;
each of said first and second solar panels in electric communication with the battery; and
whereby the exposure of either of said first and second transparent solar panels to solar radiation generates electrical power for the battery.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1 further including a status light adapted to provide visual indication of the amount of electrical energy generated by said transparent solar panel.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said second solar panel is opaque.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The apparatus of claim 1 wherein said second solar panel is transparent.

### Claim 5

An apparatus for providing power to electronic device having a front side including an electronic display screen, and rear side including a manufacturer's indica, and a battery, said apparatus comprising:
a transparent first solar panel disposed integrated with the electronic display;
a transparent second solar panel disposed on the rear side of the electronic device and disposed in overlapping relation with the rear side and the manufacturer's indicia;
each of said first and second solar panels in electric communication with the battery; and
whereby the exposure of either of said first and second transparent solar panels to solar radiation generates electrical power for the battery.
