Paytm Launches India’s First Solar Soundbox for Merchants

Paytm, a leading payments and financial services distribution company, has announced the launch of its ‘Paytm Solar Soundbox’ for merchants. This innovative device is powered by solar energy, providing full-day power and enabling uninterrupted payments. The Made in India Paytm Solar Soundbox is an environmentally friendly solution that uses a low-cost alternative energy source, ensuring that merchants in rural and remote areas can be a part of the digital ecosystem. The device is equipped with a solar panel on top, allowing it to auto-charge under sunlight. It features two batteries—one that charges with solar energy and another that charges with electricity. The solar battery can provide a full day of power after just 2-3 hours of sun exposure, while the electricity-powered battery can last up to 10 days without recharging. This minimizes the need for frequent charging and supports green energy.
