From the "Reserve Now" link:

It can be "Rolled" up in a storm (As noted kind of defeats it however)
and a canvas sheet below the panels sheds rain.

Seems really rube-goldberg. Much better would be rooftop and maybe some small solid panels that can fold up on the back and driver side.

I've seen enough awnings go in wind storms, I see nothing that would avoid that and unlike a standard awning where you close it when you leave for the day, that would undermine the purpose of generating power.

Plus it doesn't function as an awning. There are openings between each sub-panel.

Looks like $7500 Link

solar awning= parking spot in the sun ideally facing south.

One, we prefer to park in the shade, use portable panels
Two: how many sites have the orientation to have the awning facing south?

yes, if it is flat as long as sun hits it you'll get power, but then I prefer the shade.

It is indeed real.. HOWEVER.
They talk about "limitless off grid".. You may find it is not enough to fully power your rig especially if you need air Conditioning.

But it sure will help if you are paying for kilowatts.

I think solar awning is not quite correct. The web site pictures do not suggest that the panels are flexible.

Looking at the add pictures again it appears that it folds accordion style and goes in the box/ holder on the roof edge.

Got to be one heavy awning.
