By the battery in the caculator
It works by a solar cell when photons hit a cell it exites a particle called electrons which allow it to flow through in between layer p which stands for a positive energy and n for negative charge that creates a field of electricity.

∙ 12y agoWhen you put a calculator into the sun, the sunlight will fall onto a special solar panel. There are photons in the sunlight that hit the material in the solar panel and knock electrons out. Those electrons are now free to move about and they form a current. So it's a way of getting sunlight and changing it into electricity to power the calculator.

What is made out of solar energy?
solar energy is from the sun, just like calculators
What do solar collectors solar calculators and green plant cells have in common?
They all use solar energy
Will a solar powered calculator work inside?
They do work inside. While it's true that solar powered calculators have trouble in very dim lighting, they will work with almost any light. If it's a healthy level of light for your eyes, it should be enough light to power a solar calculator.
Can a solar powered calculator work in a dark room?
No, not unless it has batteries as well as solar panels. Most calculators have solar power and batteries now. But you wouldn't be able to see the screen if you were in a dark room anyway.
Do calculators have batteries?
Yes unless it is solar powered.
Is Solar energy harnessed to run calculators using solar satellites?
Yes, many calculators use solar energy, but not from satellites. There is a tiny solar panel on the calculator. Cover it up with your finger and you'll see the calculator stop working.
