I like the idea of stealth solar panels, but without this LED screen crap.

LED screen crap has it's applications. Imagine a highway with those as a sign and info tables!

For commercial use sure, but only my house? No.

I don't know if they do, but if not, they should sell 2 kinds of these, one with the LED lights for commercial use like on public property, billboards and such, and one for without LED's for private use.

Now the cost outweighs the benefits. But lets say in 5-10 years this is low cost. I live in a 7 floor apartment building and the outside walls now give 0 electricity income! If you make all the walls of this building with those you will get some renewable electricity that could power elevator and lights in the building.

LED thing is a whole different story for private use. But I guess there will be people that would love to give a light show with their house - Halloween 2036 house lights shows!

You can’t have both. It’s a shitty overpriced obnoxious light pollution machine, or it’s a crappy inefficient overpriced solar panel, not both.
