Spin that puppy at high speed and we can get airborne!
Looks like it's $5K purchase and available with some lease options. Puts out 1.1 kW, claimed 30% more than fixed installations as it tracks the sun like a flower.

At first I thought it was a combination windmill and solar array. It's not.

I think the image threw us all off. On their website, the "flower" is attached to a fairly substantial post that's fixed to a ground base. The car is just parked in its shade. It certainly does catch the eye, though.
