Solar panels are capable of producing power for 9 volts. To him, it takes a fee of 23 Euros, or approximately Rp320.000 alone.

Melanin, the pigment in hair coloring, very sensitive to light. It also can function as a conductor. Moreover, the hair is much cheaper than silicon, so the cost can be minimized to make it. Solar panels can also charge the phone for both providers of electricity throughout the night.
