Wish there were details on how much energy can be captured this way. Since it also charges via solar, it would be difficult for a customer to tell if this new technology makes any meaningful difference, or whether it's just included as a marketing gimmick.

Are there any other sources that provide more details?

The picture of the back of the remote tells a thousand words.

Which picture? Or do you just mean the fact that they still have the solar panels?
