Raspberry Pi Zero can be powered by 65 milliamps?

i want to make a project on raspberry pi that will be powered by solar panels
but solar battery only 65mA
can that be enough to power the board?
if not, can it be through the battery?
if it’s impossible through the battery, then tell me an alternative (I need it to be able to run chromium or firefox there)?

65mA is very, very small, even for Rpi Zero it is not enough.
Here you can find the consumption according to the results of measurements: https://www.pidramble.com/wiki/benchmarks/power-co...
Assemble several solar panels in parallel, taking into account that it will only produce the declared amperes on a clear sunny day. Or power it through the powerbank, see only what current it gives, because. for RPi 4 you need, for good, 3A. And there are also power banks with a built-in solar battery, I haven’t tried it myself, but they say they charge.

mini solar panel gives 0.3
watt 0.3 / 0.065= 4.6 V

For development, it is better to take the fourth Pi with 4-8GB of RAM. But working from solar panels will be an extremely difficult task. OK. Power Pi Zero from dozens of panels, maybe you can. And how will you power the display you want to display Firefox on?
