batteries - How to power an attiny from a solar panel?


I'm using an attiny microprocessor that uses around 6mA plus another 3mA for the LED. It periodically runs a servo ( Tower 9G ) that according to a few source online draws 120 - 200 mA ( for around 6 seconds ). (200 x 6)/3600 gives me .33 mAh. If I add the two together, I get a draw of 10 mAh a day. Now lets say i had a tiny battery, something like this one. that has 100 mAh. If i then add a solar panel like this that is capable of providing 45 mA in peak sun, It sould ba able to provide more than ample power to keep the battery fully charged indefinely ... are my calculations correct? or am I missing something?

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
