Catching some sun

I live in one of the sunniest places in the US - Phoenix, Arizona. It seems crazy that solar energy is not utilized more in a place like this, but we're getting there.

Until the day our grid is powered by sunlight and wind, we can each capture a little bit of the sun to light our nights with these neat little sun jars.




Let the jar sit outside in a sunny spot all day. A little solar panel inside stores the sun's energy and powers an LED light. The frosted glass diffused the light and the jar emits a warm glow.

At $44 each, I don't think I'll be lining my driveway with these, but one or two would be lovely on an outdoor dinner table.
