One Small Display, Three Readings

The Solar Car Clock is a small dashboard mounted display that shows the time, cabin temperature, and humidity on one backlit LCD screen, charged by its built in solar panel with a button battery as backup. There’s nothing to wire in, it just sits on the dash and keeps working.

Solar Charging with Battery Backup

This Solar Car Clock tops up its charge from a small solar panel whenever it’s sitting in daylight, and falls back to a replaceable button battery that keeps your clock and settings saved even if the battery is swapped. The Blue Only version skips the solar panel and runs on the button battery alone.

Built In Thermometer and Hygrometer

Alongside the time and date, the display reads out temperature and humidity together, so you can see at a glance whether it’s worth cracking a window before you even start the engine. Accuracy is rated at plus or minus 1°C for temperature and plus or minus 5% RH for humidity.

4 Level Brightness and Vibration Sensor

Screen brightness adjusts across 4 manual levels, so the display stays easy to read whether you’re parked under a bright midday sun or driving at night. This Solar Car Clock also has a built in vibration sensor, the screen lights up once the car is moving and switches off automatically after you’ve parked, so it isn’t drawing down its charge while the car sits idle.

Backlight Color Options

The Solar Car Clock comes in three backlight options: Blue Only, which runs on battery alone without solar charging, and Blue and Green or Blue and Orange, which switch between two backlight colors and include the solar panel.

No Wiring, Fits Any Dashboard

Because it runs on solar and battery power rather than a wired connection, this Solar Car Clock sits on any flat dashboard surface in cars, SUVs, and other vehicles, with nothing to plug in and nothing to route behind the trim.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What does the Solar Car Clock display? Time, date, day, cabin temperature, and humidity, all on one backlit LCD screen.
• Does it need to be wired into my car? No, it’s powered by its solar panel and a replaceable button battery, so it just sits on the dashboard.
• What happens if the battery runs down? The button battery is replaceable and keeps your clock and date settings saved, so you won’t need to reset everything after a swap.
• Do all the color versions have solar charging? No, the Blue and Green and Blue and Orange versions include the solar panel, the Blue Only version runs on battery alone.
• Will the screen stay on all the time? No, a built in vibration sensor wakes the display while the car is moving and lets it sleep after you park, so it isn’t running down its charge unnecessarily.
