\"SolarAll I want for Christmas are my solar powered gadgets. Well, this doesn\u2019t have the ring to it like the \u201cmy two front teeth\u201d song, but several photovoltaic manufacturers are rolling out interesting products one can give as gifts this holiday season.<\/p>\n

Upon any green tech\u2019s Christmas list may be items such as a solar-powered kayak, carrying bag or toothbrush. The solar-powered kayak<\/a> is actually an outrigger attachment that fits onto a single vessel to use the sun\u2019s rays to power a small trolling motor. Granted, this may defeat the purpose of exercising in the great outdoors, but if you\u2019re feeling lazy on a Sunday afternoon and just want to float aimlessly on the pond while napping, this may just be an ideal choice.<\/p>\n

A company called Noon Solar has come out with a carrying bag that has photovoltaic cells built right into it. The cells provide power to the bag so that consumers can recharge their cell phones, iPods or other small electronic devices. It\u2019s kind of geeky and nerdy, but then again you\u2019re reading this aren\u2019t you? Yeah, me, too.<\/p>\n

And, last up on the green tech\u2019s holiday shopper list is the solar-powered toothbrush. The cool aspect about this toothbrush is not that it uses photovoltaic cells, but rather, no toothpaste is needed to achieve optimal oral hygiene. The brush actually uses a chemical reaction in the mouth to kill bacteria and plaque.<\/p>\n

So, there you have it, a short list of solar gadgets for this holiday shopping season. Perhaps, next year, Rudolph\u2019s red nose will be powered by solar as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
