Solar orb

You think I could mount one of these on my motorhome? Solar orb

    I would think it would be very inefficient. The direct sun rays would only be hitting a very few of the CELLS with HIGH SUN... For small thing maybe yes but for charging batteries where the full 120WATT panels only produce 5-6AMPS of DC current using all of the cells I doubt this would be much good for my planned usage of solar power... I am going to need all of the DC current I can muster.

    Would be an interesting sight to see mount on top of your trailer however haha...

    Just my thoughts

    The WOW factor however...
