Technical Details

In an era when human presence extends beyond Earth, Starshade reimagines the traditional umbrella as a self-sustaining energy ecosystem. Its flexible monocrystalline solar panels feed a 1280Wh LiFePO₄ battery system, offering up to 2400W high-power output—enough to power diverse outdoor equipment. A sleek 4" touchscreen provides real-time monitoring of charging, power usage, and operational status, while a built-in Battery Management System (BMS) ensures maximum safety and efficiency. Inspired by the rigors of interplanetary travel but equally suited to campsites and al fresco dining on Earth, Starshade exemplifies Prexnce Labs’ commitment to blending visionary design and technological ingenuity.

在人类逐步迈向更广阔星际边界的时代,Starshade 将传统的遮阳伞重新定义为自给自足的能源系统。其柔性单晶硅太阳能电板为 1280Wh 的 LiFePO₄ 电池提供电力,可输出高达 2400W 的功率,满足多种户外用电需求。4 英寸触摸屏可实时监测充电、电量和运行状态,并配备完善的电池管理系统 (BMS) 以保证安全高效运作。受星际探索需求的启发,同时兼顾地球上的露营与户外咖啡场景,Starshade 充分体现了 Prexnce Labs 将前瞻设计与技术创新融为一体的核心理念。
