Just a minor correction, the solar shower does not have solar panels (photovoltaic cells). It is simply made of dark, heat-absorbing material, so, just as a car with a black paint job becomes stiflingly hot after an hour at the grocery store, the solar shower acts as an oven heating the water inside. Furthermore, if it used photovoltaic cells, the cost for the unit would be considerably greater than $10.
