Why has no one made a deck umbrella with solar panels and a USB outputting battery?

Igni (Lars) (he/him) reshared this.

@silverwizard modify any of these https://bestsolarlights.org/solar-panel-patio-umbrella/

Yeah - the modifications are probably:
Upgrade the battery
Upgrade the panels
Add a control board for 2-3 USBA ports and USBC-PD port

It might be difficult to design it in a way that could be folded down, but this is freaking brilliance.

So my theory was:
3 panels that can be folded into a single rectangle, per panel of the antenna.

Cord from the panels to a base. The base containing the battery, and the USB ports.
