Does a solar power calculator uses solar mirror?

the small solar cells on calculators and watches can convert about 12% of the solar energy that lands on them into electricity. A small part, 5%, of the remaining 82% is reflected away by the shiny surface the rest is just lost as heat. The electricity passes directly to the calculator if it is in use, or to the battery if not. if the battery is full then the cells dissiate the energy as heat.
