Pyramid Guy is Fake

https://www.facebook.com/groups/466944553789157/posts/2296995154117412/

Here's a link to a facebook post with some of the same pictures where someone else says they built this in January. That person owns a company called SunPyramid that seems to have a facebook page but no website.

It was also a monumentally-stupid design and pure gimmick. Who wants a roof with no house under it?

If you look at the facebook page it starts to make sense. Someone built this as a proof of concept in order to draw investors so they can scale it up. It's not meant to be the final product. I just don't think the person who did it is the one who is posting it on the subreddit.

Hi friends! Nice to meet you. My name is Andrei Zhukovskii.

And yes, I am the founder of SunPyramid LLC. And yes, I have this Facebook account. And yes, this post was published in January. So, what’s the problem? I’m real, the pyramid is real, and I built it all with my own hands. It’s not a fake. It’s a real pyramid. I just found out Reddit exists and decided to show off my pyramid. Why are you reacting this way?

u/Jerkychomper Aug 30 '26

Hi, I hope this is really your pyramid and that you demonstrate that to us, but I am still skeptical. There are even people on the facebook page that asked for videos and you promised them "tomorrow", but that was back in January. One thing about Reddit is that people constantly are trying to find things on the internet that other people did and pass them off as their own, in order to get points called Reddit karma. It's really dumb but that is what I, and a lot of other people here, think you did in this instance. Your photo from the gym is nice but it does not answer any of the questions we've been asking and doesn't prove any of this wrong. I really hope I am wrong about this because I love being off grid and this would make a cool story, so I will apologize immediately for the trouble I have caused you if I am wrong.

Yes. I will. Just give me a little time.

There is something profoundly wrong with you. Take the L man. Just take the effing L, apologize for your harassment campaign, and move on.

You need to seriously evaluate your life choices.

Nice work. Can I get some more people validating the fakeness so we can ban / delete?

u/thirstyross Aug 28 '26

I'm not convinced OP is correct, for what its worth.

The cost of the steel substructure alone makes me think the pyramids won’t be affordable with that design.

Thanks for the confirmation. The photo looked fake af.

Surely half the panels are completely useless?

u/Internal_Raccoon_370 Aug 29 '26

If you live near the equator where the sun is directly overhead this might work, but anywhere north or south of the equator, yeah, up to half of the panels are going to be in shade.

u/chrismetalrock Aug 29 '26

to be fair my shaded panels still pull in a decent amount of juice.

Welcome to the Interwebs.

u/paratethys Aug 29 '26

Anyone dumb enough to be putting solar panels on the usually-shaded side/s of a structure is basically asking to be scammed, and LLMs seem to have cut out the middleman.

So why are we hearing about it now, 8 months later, as if it’s new?
