Benefits of technology

The present invention is a shade device that includes an ultra-violet light indicator and a solar panel to power the light string. The device also has a battery pack that recharges from sunlight exposure and a wind deflector to reduce wind disturbance of the light string. The technical effects are that the device provides shade from sunlight exposure while allowing airflow through the awning, and the wind deflector reduces wind disturbance of the shade.

Problems solved by technology

Fabric-type covers and awnings can provide sun and weather protection but they may reduce the amount of useable light in an area.
They are also suspectable to dislocation and damage from winds and other outdoor phenomena.
