LOL chaz, that wind generator needs 9MPH just to start. That's waaaaaay faster than I go <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

DWeaver, this thread has shown you two almost opposite opinions of the same device. Both have their merits. It did not work in my specific situation(s), but it did work in someone else's. The trick is to determine if it will work in your situation.

On paper the only way you'll know if the Solio will work for you is to (A)calculate your daily power needs and (B)calculate how much power you'll be able to "harvest" from the sun with the Solio. Unfortunately neither number is easy to predict with any degree of accuracy. Keep in mind that the rated output of the Solio is under ideal conditions and will not always be that high.

Simple trial and error may be your best friend.
