1) Solar beach umbrella
Anker's solar beach umbrella is more than just a sunshade. This umbrella is part of Anker's SOLIX lineup and does something pretty unique. Charge your devices while relaxing outdoors. What makes it special? Perovskite solar cells are very impressive. These cells are about 30% more powerful than traditional solar cells in bright sunlight and twice as powerful in darkness. The umbrella can pump out 80 watts of power via USB-C and also features an XT-60 connection to power things like Anker's new EverFrost electric cooler. This means you can literally keep your drinks cold and charge your phone at the same time. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but you can expect this technology to hit store shelves sometime in the spring or summer.
