What better application for solar energy than powering a golf cart? There's plenty of sun around, and many golf carts are already using an electric motor, so this Sunray Solar Roof Kit from Cruise Car makes it easy to catch a few rays in the name of going green. The array of solar panels generates 180 watts and 3 amps, and charges up a 36-volt or 40-volt battery. That's not going to be enough to completely power a golf cart, but the company says it's sufficient to extend the cart battery's charge by 30%.

Besides conversion kits, Cruise Car also offers a ready-made solar golf carts, and the best news is that buying either its Solar Roof Kit or solar electric cart will get you a tax credit from the U.S. Government, all part of Uncle Sam's special thank you for saving the green Earth. There was no word on whether the government would grant energy-saving tax credits for those who quit playing golf. — Charlie White
