Kezat It looks like it might have a foldong prop, as per the rubber powered F1B competition gliders, www.fai.org/f1-free-flight/outdoor-models so either a belly landing, or hand catch. I'm presuming that the motor in this one is controlled and can be shut down.
Other people have measured with 30 C60 cells they could get 87W, measured on camera on a not so sunny day. This one have at least 32 on each wing, total of 64 so they should be able to get at least 187W with that kind of sky.
I count 64 solar cells on that plane. If they are Sunpower cells they put out about 3.3 watts each which makes a total of 211 watts. Of course it will be a bit less because if the dihedral and because the sun is not always directly overhead and clouds etc. Sunpower cells are 12.5 cm across, so the wingspan is just over 4 metres.
Oogie Boogie I've got a number of aircraft in this size range that generate roughly 200 W, and based on this bird's appearance, they're much heavier. There is no way in this world that airplane is generating 200 W. Most 2 meter gliders have unlimited vertical on that power.

hello,
can u please tell us more about the plane, its specs, solar cells used, build video too if possible,
thanks
Yes. It was a scratch built rom Balsa and Ply
looks very tail heavy, would be more efficient and stable with the fuselage moved a couple of inches forward relative to the wing.
Very impresive. How amps he needs to horizontal flight?
Nice. But I reckon it can be done a lot cheaper. 18 amps is a problem though as the plane needs very light weight to ease that situation.
Was it scratch built?
Very cool and a remarkable achievement, but no way is it producing 200W, If it were it would be going straight up like a rocket.
The solar panels were producing 200w... 16.6 amps at 12v. not that much, but impresive.
How much flytime does this beauty have?
gabrius99 till the sun goes off
somebody have a plan from the plane ?
You mentioned it was $2000. Can the builder sell me one?
A beautiful craft. That prop looks light and fragile, how do you land it?

Wow.
There is no way this is producing 200W. More like 20.
You could totally with C60 modules and a wingspan of atleast 3m.

Learn to balance Good god.
Looks like a p30
It would not go straight up like a rocket: 12v at 200w is only 18 amps!
16.67 amps

200 watts? P M S L
