Anker shows off its solar beach umbrella at CES 2025

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.

Though many solar-powered beach umbrellas are available on the market, Anker’s product stands out due to its use of perovskite solar cells. According to the company, these cells offer 30% better performance than traditional crystalline silicon solar cells in bright light and double the efficiency in low light. As with any solar-powered device, these umbrellas can help contribute to reducing pollution and lowering greenhouse gas emissions. It’s also a handy addition to your beach day packing list.

Anker announced this umbrella alongside several other new products at CES 2025, including the second generation of its EverFrost electric cooler and a karaoke speaker featuring an AI voice removal function. The company likely hopes that customers will view the umbrella as a complementary accessory for the electronic cooler, as it can be attached to the cooler to power it. Alternatively, it can be installed with a standalone base.

The umbrella provides 80 watts of power to portable devices through USB-C. It can also power the EverFrost 2 or other compatible devices using an XT-60 connection, which links power from a battery to a motor or other electronics.

Anker didn’t disclose the cost of the umbrella, but it is expected to be available in the spring or summer.
