Among the first round of products from Solis Energy is the Solar Power Plant, touted as being capable of supplying 12, 24 and 48 Volts DC for use in stand-alone applications such as surveillance cameras and outdoor Wi-Fi."

    Like any other short-living snake oil startup, their marketing focus on the blogosphere instead of real potential consumers?

    Seriously, it's been decades that solar pannels are used to provide electricity in remote places, and usualy with far larger needs (a few examples: sismic/weather monitoring stations, wells, entire third world villages...).
