If we ignore the price, which is astronomical and silly, then everything else is forgiveable, I think.
Yes it's made from plastic tarp, which makes it lightweight and easy to manufacture or repair. Yes it's got low potential at ground level but that makes it far safer and simpler to install.
This design or a variation of it could be built with PVC pipe and plastic bags and deployed in a field for next to nothing, bringing power to a community that didn't have any.
It's insanity to want to charge near 5k for this, but if this was an open source / free thing we'd all be championing the ingenuity
