In a stunning show of intellect, a writer for Worldsnest, tapped an unlikely source to create a homemade energy system: the garbage can. He has created a 6 kwh solar power system for about $6,000. A comparable 6 kwh solar power system done with PV panels and a professional installer costs about $60,000.
Solar lights are the wave of our illuminating future. While we have used the energy of sunlight for eons, we have only recently been able to efficiently harness and manage this power. Solar lights are a step in lighting our journey toward a more Earth-friendly tomorrow.

My name is Michelle Janosi and I’m a part-time blogger about Going GREEN and saving the environment.
Back in March of last year, I stumbled upon a website about ‘Going GREEN’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become an advocate for the environment and hope to share with others who also are concerned about our planet's future.
