Bought this as a gift for my father-in-law, and he LOVED it!  If renewable energy/green lioving are your thing (they're definitely his), then I can imagine you will appreciate this book as much as he did.

I bought this for my partner for Christmas and it's awesome. A lot higher quality than other solar buddies that he has. There is a little bit of a click when the sun is really bright and the pope can't contain his vigorous hand waving.

Bought this for a friend who turned 20, but he's a "young" 20 (see 10 y/o) and is really into railroads and building stuff on computer, and he LOVED it, so it must be fantastic!

Do you want to charge your phone or electronic efficiently? Also eco friendly?

If so KINGSOLAR Solar charger is right for you!

I bought this item to charge my phone and camera over the summer while I'm camping...

Inside the box it came with the charger and a manual.. You don't really need manual, YES its that easy to use. To use the charger simply open the solar panel and lay it by the sun light then connect your phone to the USB port on the charger.

Build quality - Build quality is very strong and light. I believe its water proof and I like the way how they have 4 little space to connect to something. I can use that while camping or connect to my hiking bag.

TEST - This product works amazingly well! This is my first experience with this type of solar charger and any solar charge but this does actually work. On around 12o'clock I have hangled on to my window with my ipod at 5%. After about 5 hours or so lator I saw my ipod fully charged. I was so surprised at it!
Also It worked very well on cloudy days but when cloud was covering the sun it stopped charging which was annoying (charge and not charge and charge and not charge)

Pro

-free power
- eco friendly

con
-slow
-don't work on cloudy days.

He loved it.  He was able to hook it up to the van and with their app see real time data about the engine and vehicle.

This cheese board makes a wonderful gift! It's made of sustainable bamboo and manufactured using solar power! The smaller size is great for serving tapas or cutting cheese or vegetables. I use mine all the time for cutting chives or smaller items. There's no need to break out a big board when you're only chopping something small. Also, it comes with a plantable basil label. I really like that the company keeps waste to a minimum and manufactures in a sustainable fashion. I also own one of their larger cutting boards and highly recommend them. I think this is a great gift for someone who cares about the environment and likes to cook or entertain.

I've lived off-grid with a PV system long enough to recognize how realistic and practical Rex's books and magazine articles on solar living are. Now preparing to build on property already furnished with grid power, I wondered whether a grid-intertie system was a good idea or if it would turn out to be just a costly indulgence of my renewable-energy philosophies. Now that I've met Rex and LaVonne, visited their PV-powered home, and read this book, I'm convinced that there will be no regrets.

Where I live there are apparently no financial incentives, other than net metering, for grid-intertie installations. This book points out that many states and localities do have quite attractive incentive programs and suggests ways to find out. If you live in such a place, lucky you! Go for it!

"Got Sun? Go Solar" doesn't provide all the information you'll need. There are too many variables: personal preference, budget, climate, local politics and attitudes, and so on. Rex and his co-author, Doug Pratt, have instead compiled a guidebook with enough technical background to understand the nature of grid-intertie technology plus resources (many on the Internet) where you can acquire the rest of the information you need.

Don't be concerned that this will be dry reading. The only "dry" is the humor that fills the book. In the world of PV energy there are many funny stories and you'll get to read some of them.

EarthEasy has produced a new solar lam that is so adaptable to different circumstance because of the way it is made that it seems this may just be the beginning of environmentally intelligent alternative to electricity use. The product is small but very powerful. The solar panel side is handsome - a flat panel instead of the usual globular form - and on a bright day it is fully charged in under three hours. After that, common use in the house is not dependent on placement of the light by a window (although on my desk the window is very close and therefore the source of energy is ever present!).

The LED light has both high and low settings depending on your needs - for using for specific tasks where extra light is needed it can be placed on a bottle or on its own stand, or if you simply need a light in a corner it is attractive enough to use as a table lamp, or one use that is not mentioned is using it as a night light to read by at bedtime. Once charged it apparently holds that charge for a long time - mine is too new to determine that feature.

In all this is a step in the right direction. The next time that electricity bill arrives, remember this lamp - and possibly get several for use throughout the house. It DOES make a difference. Grady Harp, November 14

I used it last night. It has a lot of power. The green color makes me happy!

I purchased this multi function power bank gadget for my husband as a gift.  He is a huge geek, and a cycling enthusiast, so I thought this would be perfect for him.  I was right!  It works really well as a flashlight, it's very bright and serves nicely as a headlight in a pinch on a bicycle.  He doesn't ride after dark much, but got caught out at dusk and was glad to have this to keep him visible.  The speaker feature is nice as well, even though he prefers to use his earbuds.  He sometimes cycles with friends and it's nice to be able to talk and hear each other while they ride, and this one has good sound, especially for such a small unit. I primarily bought it for him to be able to use as a power bank, and it definitely hits that one out of the park.  It charges his phone or earbuds completely while he rides, if necessary.  He sometimes rides several miles into the country here where he would be stranded if he had a wreck or other problems and didn't have a phone.  This was definitely a really great purchase, and he's planning to buy them for his cycling friends for Christmas!

As a writer for several sustainability blogs and sites I often review products.  I bought this on what everyone else rated, and you know what?  They were right!!

Harnessing the Sun to charge your cell phone is a brilliant idea!  Voluntarily polluting the Earth does not seem prudent when we can individually make choices to protect our environment.  This product is a step in the right direction and one that has our full support.

Worth reading a bit at a time.

Full disclosure: We have solar PV, Solar domestic hot water, an electric car, etc.

The book needs suggestions and recommendations for what ordinary citizens can do.

Suggestion: Do business with green organizations.
Suggestion: Ask about the energy plans of organizations with which you do business.
More later.
Suggestion: Think of your personal ghg reduction expenditures as donations.
Suggestion: Tell your friends about your ghg reduction measures that do pay off.

Green toys are amazing. Great quality, plus you're helping the environment. My kids love this one- 6 months (as a teether, mainly) and my 4 year old.

Wonderful product, if it only was self powered, I'd give it 5 stars :)

Here's the deal: grab a bunch of sticks and pinecones and you can cook your meal AND charge your phone or headlamp? I brought it with me up to Taconic State Park and within ten minutes I had nearby campers stopping by our site asking about our cool stove. We gathered a EnviroSac full of twigs and we didn't even go through half the bag our entire stay. I was able to charge my phone about 15% each time I made a meal, which was plenty considering my original intent was to just heat up dinner. The coolest part is when the fan kicks on and the flame starts to twirl. It didn't charge my friend's iPhone 3GS but when I talked to BioLite customer service they were super nice and they said that the 3Gs is notorious for not liking 3rd party chargers (sure enough it charged my 4 and now my 5c). I've had three friends give this as a wedding gift and all get credit for being the best gift-giver!
