Solar-operated items use built-in panels to convert sunlight into electricity. If your device includes a built-in lithium battery:

  • Under 100 Wh: Permitted in both carry-on and checked baggage
  • Between 100 Wh and 160 Wh: Allowed in carry-on only, with airline approval
  • Over 160 Wh: Not permitted in carry-on, allowed in checked baggage with airline approval

Ensure the battery is properly installed in the device. Spare batteries must be individually protected—use original packaging, tape over terminals, or a protective case to prevent short-circuiting.
