Absent cost and energy storage / delivery data, this is 1) noninformative and 2) bordering on gullibility marketing.

Yes, galvanic cells work. No, they're not magic. No, the salt water doesn't "power" the solution (it enables electron flow between cathode and anode).

It's also not a rechargeable process, though it's possible to recycle the cathode/anode, generally.

Solar power or other storage cell technology would be of similar use.
