The capitalist establishment would now have us believe that one's enjoyment of the beach is dictated by one's ability to enjoy one's electronic devices there. Patrons of said beach utilize their boom boxes, radios, game consoles, televisions, and even -gasp- solar powered peltier coolers to this end! Thus, there is a distinct need for on site power generation in this segment of the market.

The Solarbrella is a dome made of flexible solar panels, suspended approximately one half-meter off the local terrian by means of a metal stake. It can, given sufficent sunlight, enhance a beachgoer's enjoyment of the beach by powering the beachgoer's electronic devices. When in operation, the device also creates a zone of relative shade and coolnees directly beneath the dome, for the further enjoyment of the beachgoer.

Please note that Solar Powered Coolers will not function within this zone.

       Yes I know. The idea is the marketing. Someone has to sell solar umbrellas to all these people with solar coolers.

       Though not to the extent that you'd use a hair-drier in the shower, I trust.
