    They offload some of your electrical usage to a free source to lower your bill and help the environment. Its not a replacement for grid electricity. Its a supplement. Since it seems like whoever you were replying to thought these were supposed to power your whole house.

      No body thinks these power your house.

            “I don’t understand why people won’t pay outrageous prices for something that can only charge a laptop during an economic collapse”

            You are clearly dissatisfied with the power output. I may be hyperbolizing, but obviously you were expecting more.

              Yeah, more than a laptop—does not mean a house. Anyone with half a brain can understand that.
