Abstract: An air cooled sunshade constructed to provide cooling under the canopy of the sunshade. The foldable canopy of the sunshade includes a plurality of segments of elongated panels having embedded solar panels and a plurality of segments of pliable material to allow the canopy to easily stretch when in the open position and collapse in the closed position, typically arranged having one elongated panel connected on foldable material segment arranged around a center piece. In an embodiment disclosed herein, the pliable material is formed as a pipe having an upper layer and a lower layer, the lower layer having pores through which air can flow to the area under the canopy. The air can then flow from a fan or an air conditioner mounted on the center piece and allowing air to flow evenly under the canopy. The solar panels are connected to provide the necessary energy.

Abstract: A portable folding arrangement of panels apparatus is used for generation of power that may be regulated and supplied to a consumer of the generated power. In particular, such a power consumer may be an air-conditioner to be used, for example, within a vehicle, to control the temperature therein. The apparatus is comprised of a plurality of essentially rigid panels, each having at least a solar cell, that are connected to supply the power to charge a battery, to operate a power consumer, and the like. The plurality of panels are connected to allow the collapsing of the foldable panels face-to-face, back-to-back, or other folding arrangements. The apparatus can be unfolded when desired for the purpose of converting the solar energy into electrical power for storage or use by a power consumer.
