You might think a solar panel would block your view, but this one is transparent (these already 'exist' in the lab). Then it transmits that stored energy to your phone and other mobile devices using a pan/tilt laser emitter. It tracks a small collector that attaches to the back of your phone - or maybe the pro model just fires it directly into the usb charging port. The pitch would be something like "solar panels are changing the world, but how do you get that power into your phone, where you need it? Introducing <this bullstuff>" Maybe we wouldn't call it a "laser", we'd just say it "wirelessly transmits energy in a concentrated beam directly to your mobile device". This would add an extra barrier to all the debunking videos because they'd have to speculate on what this "beam" is. If they assumed it was a laser, the true believers would just be like "it's not a laser it's a concentrated beam!!". Anyway, now we need a stupid name.
