Hey, SD, I've got a "Solar Cup" I can sell you. It consists of a rugged mounting pole with one 50-watt rated solar panel on it, and a ten foot diameter mirrored parabolic array that concentrates sunlight 10x on it, so I can get 500 watts out of it.

Now, you're going to protest that's impossible because the heat would make the panel combust, but we've thought of that too, there's a neat liquid-nitrogen cooling tube array integrated into the bottom of the panel, and you can buy liquid nitrogen refill cartridges from us anytime you need them.

Now look what you've done, my Evil Twin Brother has jumped in the thread!
