'Currently the tech can create one hour's worth of power "from just 20 minutes of English or Swedish summer sunshine".'

So ... 20 minutes use per year.

Nice.

Presumably, it is referring to strength of sunlight at that latitude. 3:1 runtime to charge time for strong solar lighting really isn't bad at all if the cells are durable enough for a wearable item and the speakers don't suck.
I think GP is joking about getting just 6m40s of sunshine per year in England/Sweden.
