Panels don't produce that way. To produce max power it has to be when the sun is very high in the sky and the panel is perfectly oriented. This is why some of the places use tracking systems.

A 1 meter x 2 meter panel produces about 450 Watts, or about 225 Watts per sq meter, when it is perfectly pointed at the sun and when the sun is around noon. And no clouds.

So you will need people to wear a hat with a tracking system and keep the cell phone up there and they need to stay outside in the sun all day long, every day.

50x70mm = 0.0035 sq meters = 0.7875 Watts

Plug that into PV Watts and see what it will produce in your Zipcode for a year.
