Solar Powered Alarm Clock

Now I know that solar power is renewable (at least until our sun explodes and engulfs the earth), but isn't a solar-powered alarm clock taking things a little too far? It might be more suitable for camping purposes, but by all intent if you plan to use this at home, you'd better keep your fingers crossed that there isn't an important appointment to meet the next morning. Better to be safe than sorry despite the manufacturer's claim that a single day's exposure of sunlight is more than enough to power this alarm clock for a year without being juiced up again. The solar-powered alarm clock retails for £29.99 and looks too plasticky for my liking.
