Problem statement

Imagine not having power. This is the reality for 1 in 10 people in the world (767 million people) who don't have access to grid power. The Energy Umbrella has many uses cases such as for disaster relief and emergency response, applications for the military, and in developing countries that deal with frequent power outages.

The Energy Umbrella is a solar energy system designed to capture sunlight during the day with portable solar panels and stores the energy in a battery pack for use during power outages. Practically, the Energy Umbrella can produce 400W of power and has 5 USB ports, meaning it can charge 5 phones, 3 laptops, 6 LED bulbs for 15 hours, or 2 table fans for 3 hours.
