Solar Cap

• While most people consider them merely as a novelty item, a solar fan cap is actually a great way of helping you stay cool when you are in the sun. Solar fan caps or solar fan hats contain a small solar panel either on the brim of the hat or on the top of the hat, and this solar panel provides the energy that powers a small fan which is usually located on the brim.
• The fan is normally clipped onto a small hole in the brim and positioned so that the air generated by the fan blows directly on your face. While these products are not the most aesthetically attractive fashion accessories on the market, they are nonetheless a decent way to keep you cool in the sun.
• Just keep in mind that your friends may make fun of you for wearing such a bulky, goofy looking hat, but you can pay no mind to your jealous friends as you will stay cool by ensuring you have your own personal fan blowing cool air directly on your face as long as the sun is shining. This makes solar fan hats a great gift for the fisherman or golfer in your life, and they are also a great way to help cool yourself while jogging, running, or doing any other sort of physical exercise and activity.
• When deciding what particular model of solar fan hat to purchase, the first thing you need to consider is whether you want a hat with a solar panel on the top of the hat or a solar panel on the brim of the hat.
• This can make it kind of floppy and odd to wear, however they also are able to generate more energy to keep the fan running quicker.
