I didn’t want to be as blunt as DF, but yeah, it makes one think about who would pay $10,000, and why?
At going automotive rate, that same $10,000 would buy over 50 kWh of lithium batteries. Since the awning is rated at 1,000 Watts, it would make on average +/- 3 kWh of electricity daily. Hence, for the same cost I could have over two weeks of equal electrical power, and could also park in shade or anywhere I want. One night at home or campground every other week would charge back up (likely needed to dump anyway).
Granted that 50 kWh of batteries could weigh significantly more (would need awning weight first), but would not be as vulnerable to weather conditions. In reality it doesn’t take that much roof space for 1,000 Watts of solar which would cost a lot less.
Unless they reduce price considerably, I don’t see much acceptance.
