Solar backup power might be the best gift you can get for your family. This blog has promoted other DIY solar systems that are less complete than this one. The Sunforce kit makes it easy to feed directly to the grid to reduce your electricity bill or to use a bank of batteries to store the power for when the lights go out.
Best of all, these things are getting really cheap. It's basically half-price of where it was just a few months ago. This little baby can pay for itself within a year or two in most parts of the United States. It is a snap to assemble -- the entire system can be set up in one afternoon.
It could be a great gift, but it is definitely an investment.
