It brags of 3 kW of solar arrays, but that is on all sides. Only one side will see sun so the max power is about 1 kW max. And the panels on the door and openable panels are not real, since the edges do not even include complete cells. Also I question the logic of cells on the bottom of the front overhang. A lot of hype.... but is the future. ANYTHING that sits in the sun allday should have solar panels on it. Grid tie while sitting int he driveway and battery when camping. I just bought a grid-tie inverter designed for 12v solar panels for $67 bucks. But it is only good for 12v panels (Peak voltage of 28v max). They did not say that in the add, just called it a 300W GT inevrter. So I had to order another one that was 20-60 VDC that is good for the more common home solar panels.
