Anker brought a solar beach umbrella to CES 2025, making us instantly want something we never knew existed before: A solar beach umbrella.

Perovskite is a new type of solar cell that can outperform the silicon-based cells found in most of today’s solar panels in almost every way. Anker claims its perovskite cells offer “30 percent better performance than crystalline silicon solar cells in bright light, and double the efficiency in low light.”

Anker's empire is vast, spanning everything from cheap batteries to 3D printers, but more importantly, it's varied. Case in point, the company is introducing the Anker Solix Solar Beach Umbrella at CES 2025,

Anker unveiled its first solar umbrella, designed to charge electronic devices — like coolers or phones — while outdoors. The new umbrella is part of Anker’s SOLIX lineup, which includes energy-efficient products like portable power stations and solar generators intended for powering home appliances during blackouts and emergencies.

Anker comes prepared for CES 2025 with lots of new accessories, from powerful chargers to speakers to solar beach umbrellas.

Anker has introduced an off-grid solar perovskite umbrella and a cooler with battery energy storage at CES 2025 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Anker Solix announced the upcoming release of their new Solar Beach Umbrella, and an electric cooler, the EverFrost 2, which when used together will, quite literally, keep you cool in the shade this summer.

We’re still in the middle of winter, but Anker has me excited for summer already with its CES 2025 announcement today. That’s because the company known for its charging solutions has a new electric cooler that could keep your drinks refreshingly cool for up to 104 hours,
