It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

I don't think they're for charging while you sit on it. They're for charging while the thing is parked. You may or may not be able to park them sunward. Can't see if they can be tilted up in addition to that.

Doesn't change the fact that half the solar panel will be anged away from the sun at any one point.

And the award for the most ridiculous product design goes to...
