I love #3 - the little solar cells that sit on your desk and make power. And #9 is for my husband who is constantly being bitten by mosquitoes. I love the multiple ideas that fold out a solar panel during the day to capture energy to be used at night. So many solutions seem like they could work well on a person by person, simple daily level.
But I have to admit, my favorite is the solar powered refrigeration system. This one is small scale for use where electricity does not go, but I love the idea of it becoming the norm everywhere. The refrigerator is my largest home energy consumer which I would love to eliminate. I love the idea of using the natural heat of the sun to cool it all down. Who doesn't want a skylight in the kitchen?
