That is complete BS.
The solar stick may be a good solution for some to get their panels out of the shade and get more output by tending to their angle frequently but I don't recall them claiming to have repealed the Ohms law. First post here...could you have some commercial interest in solar stick?
How can you make that claim - what are you basing that on? Do you have any personal knowledge or experience with this product? I own a solarstik and I have personal, first hand knowledge of getting 8+ amps per hour out of it. I have been at anchor for several days at a time, using only the solarstik and have kept my batteries at full charge - running our fridge (that makes ice), using the stereo, running anchor and cabin lights, (and we even use the microwave to make several bags of microwave popcorn As a post note, I have no affiliation with SolarStik (but I would buy their stock if they went public
