Abstract

A Bluetooth GPS receiver with a solar panel includes an electric circuit board and a solar panel positioned on and electrically connected with the electric circuit board. Then the solar panel together with the electric circuit board is deposited between an upper shell and a lower shell of the receiver. The upper shell is further provided with a transparent board just on the solar panel to let sunlight shine on the solar panel through the transparent board, so the solar panel may absorb and convert solar energy into electricity to be used directly by the receiver and also to charge a rechargeable battery placed in the lower shell, Then the battery may supply the receiver with electricity when there is no sunlight, and for a long period of time.
