AWNING WITH FLEXIBLE SOLAR MODULES
An awning has a frame (12a, 12b, 12c) and a flexible canopy (1) mounted to the frame so as to be retractable into a retracted position and extendable into an extended position. The canopy has flexible solar modules (2). The frame has a roller onto which the canopy is rolled in the retracted position. At least one storage cell is connected to the solar modules and mounted in the roller. It stores electrical energy produced by the solar modules (2). The awning can be operated by the energy stored in the storage cell.
