Abstract
A solar keyboard includes a base, a touch keyboard module and a solar cell. The touch keyboard module is disposed on the base and includes a transparent layer. The solar cell is selectively disposed over or below the transparent layer. An area of the solar cell is substantially equal to that of the touch keyboard module. Accordingly, the solar keyboard of the invention can absorb much more solar energy and then generate much more electric power.
