Did my ability to search for things intelligently on the internet die when Google search did or are there legitimately no personal umbrellas with solar panels and a battery pack? Like I feel like that would be an obvious thing, and there's a bajillion beach umbrellas and patio umbrellas that have solar panels. How are there no personal versions for wandering around on a sunny day with portable shade that gets you a charged battery pack? Is this a thing and I just can't find it or does it not exist yet and all of science has failed me in every way possible?

Sorry for the terrible AI picture, I didn't create it I just found it on the internet and it was the only one I could find because these apparently don't actually exist.

Protects you from the sun while you walk. Umbrellas are used for that at least in Japan, as somebody already mentioned

    Yeah but umbrellas already exist. Why would you want to carry around a solar umbrella with empty batteries to charge as opposed to a regular umbrella with already charged batteries
