The most common reason people wear a hat is to keep their heads cool under the intense heat of the sun while adding a little bit of style to their appearances. Instead of just blocking the sunlight, the SOLSOL Hat absorbs some of the energy and converts it to useful electricity.

The hat comes with an arrangement of solar panels and electrical components that allows the wearer to recharge a small device like a phone, tablet, or smartwatch directly from the built-in USB port.

Although the power output is quite low 1.16W which is lower than a regular charger, it may be useful in case of an emergency or when you are going off of the grid, like camping, fishing, hunting, and many other outdoor activities.
