I understand that. As a USPSA shooter yourself, you understand why people like the bigger windows on the Romeo 3 Max, Trijicon SRO, Leupold DPP, etc. I would much rather see Holosun put out a similar optic that is overall similar in window size to an RMR or even a larger optic.

I'm trying to link a very informative video from the Holosun booth at shot show at the correct time mark.

Holosun starts at about 31'50" if link no workie.
I have an Ecodrive watch with their capacitor. No idea if it's the same thing Holosun will be using, but they can be permanently damaged if you let them discharge too much (like if you leave the watch in a drawer for too long) and it's pretty expensive to replace. Hopefully the no-battery Holosun doesn't have the same problem.
Technically any time you are shooting the pistol and it’s light out you will be charging the sight correct? Therefor unless you leave it in the safe for the duration I do not know if you would ever fully discharge the battery.
The mos specific mounting would be awesome for mos owners. Low mount and less parts with a factory cut slide.

Most of the time.
The solar panel's output needs to be split between powering the electronics and charging the battery/capacitor/whatever, but the split isn't fixed.
The electronics that run the sight will always take first cut of the cell's output. Whatever amperage is left over will go to recharge.
The solar cell's output depends on the amount of available light. There may or may not be enough light on overcast days (or other less that full sunlight situations) to power the sight and charge the battery.
Soon we are going to have holsters with battery packs and lights mounted in them.
