  • Typical flock panel ~50W
  • Typical flock battery ~ 150Wh
  • Rough number of flock cameras: 120,000
  • Assuming each panel is producing power constantly:
    • 120,000 * 50 = 6MW of power, or ~ 3000 homes.
  • At 20% efficiency (e.g. cloudy days), that's ~ 400 homes during day time
    • The 18 MW battery capacity could potentially make that a 24 hour period

    And the rest of the math:

    The US currently is installing around 7GW of solar power. Per quarter.

    7,000MW. Over 1,000x the entire output of all Flock camera solar panels, being added to the US every 3 months.

    The government and a myriad of other entities are currently rolling out green infrastructure 4,000x as fast as flock.
