20 Watt Silver Frame Mono-crystalline Solar Panel and battery Charger
This is a 20 Watt Mono-crystalline Solar Panel and 12V Charger. You could be eligible for up to $2000 of energy rebate in California and some states for converting your home power to solar. Please check with your local utility company. The solar panel is waterproof. The working voltage for charging is 17.2V. If you need to use it to charge a car battery, you may need a charge controller to prevent the battery from overcharging. Connections included: alligator battery clamps. There are three types of Solar Cells on the market. All our Solar chargers are using the best - Mono-Crystalline Solar Cells. Amorphous or Dual Junction Solar Glass are the cheapest but are only 7% energy efficient and have 5 years of service life. They are big and heavy. Poly-Crystalline have 25 plus years of service life under direct sunlight and are 13% efficient. Mono-Crystalline have 25 plus years of service life and are up to 20% efficient. This is the same type used in solar car racing. This type of solar cells is now in a worldwide shortage because only a few companies can manufacture this solar cell.
Customer Review: 20-watt Solar Panel
This panel appears to work as advertised. The frame is fairly rugged and has six holes drilled for mounting. Ratings stamped on back of unit are: Rated Power: 20W +/- 5%, Isc: 1.24 Amps, Vcc: 21.5V, Im: 1.15 A, Vm: 17.2V, Test Condition: AM1.5, 100mW/cm squared, 25 degrees Centigrade. Inside the junction box on the back, there is a diode in line with one conductor to prevent reverse current flow. The plastic corner protectors are a bit thin, and two of them were cracked when I received the unit, but this was not an important enough feature to me to cause me to return the unit. Would I buy more ? I intend to buy a second unit as soon as one is available.

Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution–and How It Can Renew America
Friedman proposes that an ambitious national strategy— which he calls “Geo-Greenism”—is not only what we need to save the planet from overheating; it is what we need to make America healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive, and more secure.
As in The World Is Flat, he explains a new era—the Energy-Climate era—through an illuminating account of recent events. He shows how 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the flattening of the world by the Internet (which brought 3 billion new consumers onto the world stage) have combined to bring climate and energy issues to Main Street. But they have not gone very far down Main Street; the much-touted “green revolution” has hardly begun. With all that in mind, Friedman sets out the clean-technology breakthroughs we, and the world, will need; he shows that the ET (Energy Technology) revolution will be both transformative and disruptive; and he explains why America must lead this revolution—with the first Green President and a Green New Deal, spurred by the Greenest Generation.
Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman—fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the world we live in today.
Customer Review: You don’t get to vote or open your mouth until you read this!
Every American should read or listen to this book TWICE!
Mr. Friedman is a very talented writer and has an awesome ability to frame issues, support it with fact and offer solutions. This book lays it right out there in a real, factual and digestible way, and actually proposes solutions to get the US to be a world innovative power again. I’m in.
Customer Review: Most important book of the decade
Friedman tells us how areas of our Earth are being destroyed and then tells us what we can do to minimize the damage, if we begin now. He’s right on the money. As a scientist myself, I am really scared of global climate change — a change that is currently under way. Politicians need to listen to the science.

Customer Review: Not Up To Date
This book has some interesting information but is not up to date. A beginner primer.
Customer Review: Easy and comprehensive
Rik Degunther’s style is very easy to understand and he leaves no stone unturned in an effort to save the consumer money. He covers a lot of simple things you can and should do, even including how to economically turn on the faucet, before investing the bigger bucks into solar hardware. This book is fun to read and I especially enjoyed the emphasis on reducing our “carbon footprint”. Saving money is a good first motivation, but saving our environment should also factor into the bottom line, and his book constantly reminds us of this fact.

Solay Polish Flames Salt Lamps (8-14 lbs)
Solay Polish Flames will add flare, beauty and uniqueness to all living spaces. Beautifully made and elegantly shaped. Scientific studies have shown that salt crystal lamps can increase the negative ion count by up to 300%. Negative ionized air drastically reduces the number of indoor airborne bacteria and dust. Negative ions also benefit asthma patients, people with chronic lung illnesses, and allergy sufferers. As well, they help improve learning, memory, and emotional well being. By creating a balance of ions in the air, they stimulate natural drive and healthy energy. Their colors create a pleasantly calming and warm environment. A Solay Salt Lamp is an excellent source of negative ions and is strikingly beautiful, blending favorably with any environment. Heating the salt crystal with a bulb inside the lamp releases negative ions into the air. The salt crystal lamp improves air quality and your bodys health. For a constant ionizing effect, it is recommended that you light your lamp every day for optimal cleansing results. When a lamp warms, it attracts humidity and the surface of the salt crystal becomes damp. Negative ions build up and then released. Crystal salt lamps bind the excessive positive ions with their negative ions. The ions cleanse the air of harmful electro smog and other toxins. Known as Natures Ionizers, Salt Crystal Lamps eliminate a host of indoor air pollutants. Natural salt has been exposed to massive pressure for millions of years, it has resulted in the formation of this durable crystal salt. The more pressure on the crystal salt, the stronger its composition. This is why salt crystal lamps will not reduce in size, color, shape, or their ionizing effect. They are a long-lasting and stunning addition to any home or office.
