Looks like they are up-cycling old photocopiers.

Bet that really heavy,more so when it's full of beer cooling down. 
Did it miss it's lift I to space.
it looks like someone has banged their headLooks like they are up-cycling old photocopiers.
It will raise the height of the van a tad. 
I've got one on trial to charge my eMTB...the one in the photo is a little different to mine...however the concept is very much the same....we are working on improving the wheels because although my bike is restricted to 25kph I've turned to over twice on downhill rides in the mountains near Madrid...another small adaptation is the Solar coffee machine fitting...this too was a disaster....most of the Kenco spilled out, but the MFG have promised me a better solution....We believe that this is going to be a winner, but not in races as it's been banned in most European countries...sad I know.

No really mine can be mains connected too...
Cost? It would need a good lanyard and lock , or only put out when it could be observed, which might be restrictive.

Sadly it is still for sale common name for this very high tech item is a The popup buttered toaster
the boys in the workshop call it the paka toaster ideal for a day out.
bread goes inside. Heated by solar and buttered both sites in case you drop a slice. Butter side down as they say.
designed to look like a photocopier because every slice will be the same.
however if the sun is shining you can get a toasted slice every 3 seconds. No sun and you tip on the included lighter fuel set fire to it and toast your own while you wait for the sun..
It casts shadows on it self, so presumably, the in-shadow panels will give no charge.

Wasn’t that supposed have been sent into space to take pictures of the universe? 
Not a good design... any panels with partial shading/shadows will not perform efficiently and unless the sun is directly above there are going to be shadows all over that...
does anyone know where to buy one or the specification
No because this is only the prototype. The new improved and a little larger mk11 version is still in production at Microsoft
coupled with the new Microsoft mini pc that’s also due out soon.
the word is it that it will revolutionise the portable pc and laptop world as we know it.
apple have a similar version without the solar panels I think it’s called an IPad .

If Microsoft are involved then it will be for 3rd world countrys with poor power supplies and they will sell it with a annually recurring subscription and tie them into hardware and software updates 
Well you saw through that fast.If Microsoft are involved then it will be for 3rd world countrys with poor power supplies and they will sell it with a annually recurring subscription and tie them into hardware and software updates
it was something I was going to add later .
Not much I can say about this .
it reminds me of when I was back at school. But for the life of me I can’t remember why.

The reason i posted the photo is to warn people if you see it advertised for sale as old Amazon stock do not order as they come from China but you never get the thing delivered. I am working with Pay Pal to try and get my money back as the parcel was delivered according to the tracker on 22/1/22 by Royal Mail and all Royal Mail say is get in touch with the sender wich i have done Royal Mail will not say which post code it was deliverd to but it wasnt mine.

It’s got wheels and can be remotely controlled from. Yes you guessed it China.
so no matter what post code it went to …….it was sold again and is still in transit via Royal Mail.
and when it gets to the new post code then someone in China will remotely move it to an undisclosed postcode to another postcode when it has been sold again.
seems it could be an EBay member registered as residing in either London or China.
either way their not replying in English to my emails.

Tried that when we crossed the Pyrenees 2 years ago....our trials are proving to be very interesting indeed.

I use it to charge our eBikes....they are bikes that have a motor to assist uphill riding... don't use EHU much (Electric hook up) so depend on Solar charges....
