4 points.
1. My home electricity consumption is less than 3KW. That is why I said "my
home". I use less than 300kwh of electricity a month. or about 416W. Hence
3kw is more than enough for me. So, I was saying this in the context of my own
needs.
2. "Anywhere in the world" does not include the Philippines. Household
electricity consumption is lower here.
3. Yet, having said this, it still does not negate the fact that ganging up 4,
5, or 10 of these suncells is viable considering its small size. So, my
original conclusion is still valid. Even if the Suncell achieves an overunity
of just 10%, it would be revolutionary in my opinion. Yet, there are
indications that we may be getting COP 100. It looks like Randy may have a
winner here, if he can get it to market. For the good of humanity, I pray that
he succeeds.
4. Considering the nature of the sparks and its timings, it is almost certain
that it would require some sort of big battery system. Hence, peak power needs
may be smooth out right out of the box. Even if 10x suncells with its battery
pack take up your entire garage, it is still viable and possible and workable.
I would give up use of my garage to get free electricity without the
unreliability of the grid, especially Philippine grid. We get 4-5 brownouts
here every week. Each one last 30-60 minutes. Quite frustrating for one
coming from the States where I never experienced a brownout there in years.
Speaking as an American, sometimes Americans don't realize how good they've got
it there.

Peak demand at most houses is well above 3 kW just about anywhere in the
world, for example at night when you turn on a clothes dryer.
Some examples of heavy duty appliances:
Toaster oven or coffee maker, 1.5 kW
Clothes dryer 4.4 to 5.6 kW
Vacuum cleaner 1.1 kW
Central air conditioner 3.5 kW
Modern refrigerator 0.2 - 0.7 kW, when the compressor is running. 160 W
average over a day.
