Have Yourself A Green And Solar Christmas
(Sung to the tune of
“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas”)
Day 4 of my 5 Days of Tech Gifts is all about harnessing the power of the sun. I love all of my solar gadgets. They’ve saved me when storms have taken down power lines and they save on my electric bill. A win-win and a great gift idea.
Another great Solio solar battery at a slightly lower price point than the Classic2 (also available in my store). This charger isn’t just for the iPhone. It’ll charge thousands of USB devices.($61.75)
We bought the Goal Zero generator after Hurricane Sandy. I’m not a fan of (and a bit afraid of) those noisy gas-guzzling generators. This generator silently captures the sun to keep your major appliances up and running until the power is restored. We also use it to power a projector and speakers for outdoor movies. Fun! ($608.99)
Carry your energy on your back. Voltaic’s solar backpack is designed to power and charge thousands of devices including tablets, digital cameras, and smartphones. ($199)
You power this radio any one of 3 ways – hand crank, solar, or USB connection. It also has a flashlight and you can charge your cell phone with it. If only it could do my laundry…($30.95)
