EcoFlow has unveiled an innovative solar-powered hat at the IFA 2024 technology expo, designed to charge devices using solar energy.
Priced at $80, the hat is equipped with eight solar panels and a 360-degree solar-paneled brim, featuring both Type-A and Type-C charging ports.
The hat can fully charge a 4,000mAh smartphone battery in three to four hours, depending on sunlight conditions. Weighing just 370 grams, it is foldable and has an IP65 waterproof rating, making it suitable for outdoor use.
Available for pre-order in mid-October, the hat comes in two sizes: medium-large and large-extra-large.
In addition, EcoFlow is launching its RAPID Series, which includes two magnetic power banks with 5,000mAh and 10,000mAh capacities, offering fast charging.
The company also updated its portable power station lineup with the River 3 Series, which is 30% smaller than industry standards and delivers up to 600W of power.
