It's an interesting product, SMK.
I only think that 250W @$800 will take forever to return the investment. It will collect 20-30 KWH a month, at best. With less than full-time use it doesn't look too enticing. Unless the rates in his area are abnormally high. Metered RV parks "could" fall in this latter category :)...
The numbers are better when comparing solar to generator though.
250W is a monster, it has to be mounted permanently.
