Slapping “Solar” On It
By SolarPromoter - 01.12.2008
Having spent a great deal of time researching various solar gadgets and technology I have found some very interesting gadgets that appear to be solar in name only. Recently, I was reserching solar lighting accessories and stumbled onto a web page that sells designer “solar bath faucets”. Yeah, that’s right solar bath faucets! After conducting some “research” (reading further), I discovered that this product is merely a space-age inspired faucet that is trendy in design. As to whether or not the thing is solar powered seems obvious (no).
What really got me about the site was that they are marketing products as being “solar” when in fact they are not. The other thin gthat got me was the price tag. Would you spend $798.40 on a faucet? No, I didn’t thin so. Heck, I think the $60 Moen faucets are expensive enough and they aren’t even “solar”. I don’t know what the good folks at irawoods.com are thinking. Maybe there is something I am not seeing on their page, but I am having an awfully difficult time believing that their bathroom faucets are somehow solar powered. For that price they should come with solar panels for your home. Maybe that is it, maybe they come with panels or something? Just feels kind of like they are just slapping the name solar on it.
