How much do this cost? The home version.

My friend had this home version put up recently (where I took this picture today), and it cost her about $25,000. I believe it is the first one in California.

Man, I thought this was a trip back in time to 1967.

Nice photo and a really beautiful way to generate electricity! JimVandegriff, did you try charging your Model X directly from it? How is the actual power output?

2.5 kWp or 40 hours of peak output to charge a 100kWh battery pack. My guess is it probably averages ~1.5 kWh in real life.

So with this device, if I would go to the middle of nowwhere, and only a bit of sun, I could charge a 75S to 100% in less than 2 days?

I did not charge from the solar flower. It is an add-on to my friends already existing rooftop solar array, and it got turned on last week, so she doesn't know yet what its actual power generation is. When she does an analysis, I will post the info. Love its tracking capability though.

You actually get that much sunshine in Trinidad? I love Trinidad, but in the half dozen times or so that I have been there, the sun rarely made an appearance until late in the day, or it would peek in and out from among the clouds.
