The Solaris is a sustainable sun shading system designed by industrial designer José Vicente. The system has been conceptualized to provide a new working/leisure space that allows individuals to work in the open air at any place of their choice.

The Solaris sun shading system is equipped with photovoltaic panels allowing users to charge their gadget gear with renewable energy. The system can be used in outdoor spaces such as cafes, parks and beaches.

    I hate ideas like that. The ones that are so practical that you kick yourself for not thinking of it first

    Looks pretty cool. I wonder how much they sell for? Though I don’t think these are practical for the majority of places where it’s cloudy/rainy for half the year. But I can’t say that I wouldn’t like having the ability to take my own personal solar umbrella and sit in the park to work.

    I think its just a design study — it is likely not available for purchase yet.

    Pretty damned cool . . .

    This is quite old idea, I saw this solar umbrellas 4 years ago when wanted to build my own… The real thing would be once flexible photoelectric cells will be cheap…
