The
TI-31 SOLAR is identical to the TI-31 introduced two year earlier. The main difference between the Italian and Japanese products
is the size of the solar cells and the internal construction.
You'll notice these differences
with the Japanese BA-SOLAR
and the Italian BA-SOLAR, too.
A less sophisticated calculator was introduced with the TI-30
SOLAR.
The calculator was produced both in Italy (shown) and in China with a slightly different design. Find the China version here.
One year later the the appearance of the calculator changed again. Compare it here.
