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

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

     @me 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.

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