It is specifically tailored for hawkers, street vendors, and small shopkeepers, allowing them to operate without relying on electricity, which is particularly advantageous for businesses in rural and remote areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Does the Paytm Solar Soundbox Work?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;Paytm Solar Soundbox&nbsp;is built with an&nbsp;inbuilt solar panel, allowing it to&nbsp;charge automatically under sunlight. It features&nbsp;two batteries:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>One that\u00a0charges using solar energy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Another that\u00a0charges via electricity\u00a0as a backup.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Just 2-3 hours of sunlight is enough to fully charge the solar-powered battery, allowing for a full day of operation. The secondary battery, when charged via electricity, can last as long as 10 days. This dual-battery system ensures that functionality is maintained, reduces the need for frequent charging, and supports sustainable energy use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Are the Key Features for Small Merchants?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Paytm has designed this device specifically for&nbsp;India\u2019s small merchants, who rely on quick and secure digital transactions.
