Solar panels are made from many individual cells wired in series. When any individual cell doesn’t receive light, it exhibits a high resistance, thus negating power output from the entire panel.

Unfortunately, your information is out of date.

Believe it or not, there is a *reason* solar panels are mounted on the roof or away from anything that could shade them.... Unfortunately, this won’t actually work.

How come the solar panels get charged?? Doesn;t make sense atleast with the available info. most of the work is done indoor. How come the solar panels get charged??

Look I know American currency is going to crap, but this solar panel is not worth 14 grand. This is why our planet is doomed to fail. Good inventions come out, but then these jerks want to charge you 12 grand more than what its worth. No one except for rich morons with too much money on their hands will buy this, but I guess they don't care just as long as they make money, forget saving the planet.

Surely it's not a total solution for all our problems, but most coffee tables spend most of their time standing around absorbing light; they might as well be converting it into juice.

Surely the table would get REALLY hot, minimizing it functionality until it cooled down, right? Sure sexy-woman-with-laptop makes one think it is a great idea, but I cannot really think of any reason to purchase it for use as a table. I do not know if I like it.
