The Samsung SolarCell Remote is a new type of remote control for Samsung TVs. It was introduced in 2021. It’s a universal remote control with an improved design and solar panels that can be used to charge the remote’s battery. In addition to the solar panel, the remote can also be charged via USB-C.

The SolarCell Remote usually comes with Samsung Neo QLED TVs. Charging the remote control from an external power source takes no more than one hour. If charged longer than this time, it won’t cause noticeable damage to the remote control, but it’s not practical. At the same time, you can charge from solar panels indefinitely. But it will take longer to charge fully. Well, here’s how to charge Samsung SolarCell Remote.
