If you’re heading somewhere sunny over the holidays, it might not be a bad idea to bring along a sunshade – particularly, one that’s covered in solar panels.If you’re heading somewhere sunny over the holidays, it might not be a bad idea to bring along a sunshade – particularly, one that’s covered in solar panels. SKYShades, a company made famous by Greg Norman, has decided to do just that, and to market it to people who want to prevent sunburns as much as they do dead cell phone batteries. The newest solar technology is used to create a thin, lightweight, and flexible panel that can be installed on every side of the umbrella to help run your laptop, dvd player, or stereo when you’re in the sun. Be sure to check the replies for a video of these new umbrellas being used courtesy of CNN.
