It is very interesting for me! I am also designer for Led-lights installations and wind energy in Netherland/Zeeland

I agree… to costly and too large/heavy… cool idea though. I was just looking at the Solar Stik website and think for the $$ it might be a better way to go… it’s alot lighter!

I like it, but agree that the size is prohibitive. We have a cabin that we are shopping for, and the concept would work great, but the logistics are a bit much due to the size and weight . We have also looked at Solar Stik and at this time that seems like the better answer for the $$.

Carry on!!

this alternative power solution is exellent but its cast is too high for middle class locality.

It\’s a great idea. Would be more economical sense to have a smaller version that would be easier to carry around. Just imagine having one outside your porch, or camping in tents or trailers with a portable. Perhaps a backpack size or a pack in our trunk of the car, with solar on windshield to charge up the battery pack. Backup generator in case eletricity out at home. or separate generator for computers.

More people would probably buy something that’s smaller and portable and less costly.

Ideas are endless…….

This portable system affords the manufacturer opportunity to sell at least 5000 units in a year in Nigeria where there is no light from the grid 98% of the day.

We see good business here but the sellers should review the price to suit Africa’s largest market

Cool idea… My first though was : eco friendly torture chair… Then I saw how massive that thing is. I imagine eventually it will get smaller and more affordable.

[...] sure to brighten your day. The development utilizes specially calibrated ROYGBIV panels to collect solar energy over a broad spectrum of wavelengths, yielding an unheard-of energy efficiency rating that is 7 [...]

Great idea and concept, but if having a forklift around is a demand to be mobile with one of these, I’ll pass. But great substitute for those gas/diesel-powered generators used in remote areas, and with the fuel prices these days even more attractive (8 dollars for a gallon of gas, here in the Netherlands) so also for non-greeneys.

Wow, I did not realize how large it was until I saw the men standing next to it, very cool.

I love it! Too bad it costs so much. And it does look kinda like a giant LA-Z-BOY….may want to make sure it’s got a good hard coating to prevent scratches when the inevitable happens…
