A solar powered faucet? Apparently this faucet works with ambient light much like solar calculator. Called the "Solis", it has an integrated storage cell, which powers a electronic sensor to turn water on and off. It also has a 0.5 GPM aerator and built-in temperature control, making it achieve LEED credit points by conserving both energy and water. Sloan also makes a number of other green fixtures such as waterless urinals and highly efficient hand dryers. :: Sloan
