Not going into the finer details about it here because you can find it on their website. But that analogy of flying cars..You know what they told the Wright brothers about their idea of an airplane?

Oh they exist http://www.hammacher.com/Product/12400 if you have the money. Doesn't mean it's practical.
Something being possible is not the same as it making economical sense.

I read their numbers page on the website, which is exactly why I have a problem with this. It's plucking numbers from thin air all over the place, listing benefits that have nothing to do with the panels, skipping over transportation and energy storage. They mention the reduction of efficiency due to the glass, yet not the layer of oil, rubber and dirt that collects on roads.

There are many cool ideas with solar power, this one doesn't seem very feasible.
