It\u2019s amazing what solar energy can move, illuminate and operate. It lengthens the day after the sun goes down, provides energy where is no utility grid and \u2013 just as important \u2013 froths milk. Here is a random selection of five solar-powered devices we came across while surfing the Internet.<\/p>\n

Nice and useful: the solar lamp “little sun.” Source: Lilli Green Shop<\/p><\/div>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Light Even After Sunset: \u201cLittle Sun\u201d<\/h5>\n

Little Sun is a solar-powered lamp that was developed jointly by Olafur Eliasson and Frederik Ottesen. It has an LED light on the top and a 6×6 cm monocrystalline solar panel on the bottom. It is designed to prolong the day by providing light even after the sun goes down and to help 1.6 billion people who don\u2019t have access to electricity.<\/p>\n

After charging for five hours, the lamp can provide three to four hours of light \u2013 significant help not only for people in developing countries, but also for use when camping, playing, bicycling, or at beach parties and festivals, or in yards and balconies.<\/p>\n

Each lamp costs $25 (plus shipping). The proceeds are used for projects helping people in remote regions.<\/p>\n

The Soulra Solar Sound System for iPhones and iPods<\/p><\/div>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sunshine Reggae: The Soulra Solar Sound System for iPhones and iPods<\/h5>\n

Mobile sound systems are nothing new. This one is not only environmentally friendly, but it also \u2013 according to the manufacturer \u2013 has premium sound. The 420 cm\u00b2 PV module uses solar energy to ensure an uninterrupted musical experience \u2013 especially when on the go and even on cloudy days.<\/p>\n

The iPod\/iPhone is docked behind a protective cover. An additional advantage is the Soulra\u2019s IPX-4-certified enclosure, which is dust-, sand- and water-resistant, helping it survive camping trips, winter vacations, and days at the beach.<\/p>\n

The device comes with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery and costs $250.<\/p>\n

\"Attracting<\/a>

Attracting insects: the solar birdhouse<\/p><\/div>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Peep, peep, peep? The Solar Birdhouse<\/h5>\n

The solar birdhouse protects baby birds while also making it easier for today\u2019s modern, emancipated parent birds to find food in the evenings. The solar panel on the roof charges during the day and at night the landing stick lights up attracting insects. Bon app\u00e9tit!<\/p>\n

The modern birdhouse costs $115 (unfortunately out of stock at the moment)<\/p>\n

4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Sun Jar Solar Mason Jar<\/h5>\n

Sunlight in a jar. SUCK UK designed the small Sun Jar table lamp with the slogan \u201cSunshine is for everyone!\u201d in mind. The stylish mason jar contains a highly sensitive light sensor, an LED light and a solar panel.<\/p>\n

Sunlight charges the Sun Jar\u2019s battery during the day. When it gets dark, the Sun Jar radiates blue or pink light, depending on the model.<\/p>\n

Whether you are grilling or chilling, the Sun Jar gives off a very warm, pleasant light. Placed on a table, the Sun Jar is brighter than candlelight.<\/p>\n

Each jar comes with a battery. Cost: $34<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>

The Solar Milk Frother<\/p><\/div>\n

5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Cafe au Soleil: The Solar Milk Frother<\/h5>\n

Environmentally friendly and practical. This milk frother doesn\u2019t require batteries. SoLait 100 just needs to sun bathe in order to charge up. Just leave it on the window sill, or on cloudy days give it a \u201cpit stop\u201d under a halogen or desk lamp. You can use it to froth milk for authentic cappuccinos or to mix vinaigrette, martinis etc.<\/p>\n

For $37 it makes a nice gift for environmentally conscious cappuccino-lovers.<\/p>\n
