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 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.
