TH Week: Solar High Rollers

by Dominic Muren, Philadelphia, USA on 04.14.06

TH Exclusives (The TH Week)

If you see summer finally out on the horizon (and believe us, we do) you may be thinking that this is a great time to schedule in some solar around the house projects. This last week on TreeHugger, our writers dug up some great new products to help you turn all that sunshine into things you need done.

:: Mairi pointed out these great solar powered garden lights, sure to bring a little sunlight to your darkest garden nights

:: Justin found a solar powered alternative camera for all those of you into home surveillance.

:: Lloyd offered this sun-tracking solar platform to easily add a little grid-free boost to your home electrical system.

:: Lloyd also dug up this instant off-grid cottage for those of you considering a summer home -- or looking to move into a first home with minimum impact and maximum Oomph.
