RATIONALE

In today's world, people often find themselves in need of a product that is very useful. The

development of innovative products is essential in today's market to meet the evolving needs

and wants of consumers. One such innovation is the automatic umbrella with a built-in solar

panel and mini bulb. This innovative umbrella serves a dual purpose—not only protecting

users from the rain but also ensuring their safety during nighttime excursions. This research

shows how this new umbrella makes life safer and easier in different situations, making it a

must-have for people today. Especially for individuals like students and workers who are

heading home late at night on rainy days and dealing with dark streets and roads, this is a

common challenge they face. On this issue, these researchers have seized the opportunity to

develop an innovative product that is an improved version of an umbrella while still ensuring

the best quality for consumers. This innovative umbrella with a built-in solar panel and mini

bulb can be used both on sunny days and rainy days. This product was developed based on

researchers findings regarding what product would be the best to satisfy consumers due to its

functionality. The objectives behind the creation of an automatic umbrella with a built-in

solar panel and mini bulbs are to provide a functional product that can address the need for

safety and convenience in various situations, making it a useful asset to modern individuals.

By harnessing renewable energy and more, this umbrella combines practicality with

sustainability, demonstrating its potential for personal safety and usefulness in a rapidly

changing world.

unseen struggle occurs when people are experiencing heavy rain in the middle of the night.

Environmental Impact
Some eco-conscious consumers may be concerned about the environmental impact of the
innovative product. The automatic umbrella with a built-in solar panel has a positive impact
on the environment by reducing the usage of electricity and batteries. This innovative
product harnesses natural energy from the sun.

Product Functionality
Concerns might arise regarding the usefulness of the mini bulb in our umbrella, as
consumers may already have some portable lighting materials. However, there are materials
or products that can also be used for lighting, but imagine having it all in one product
without the need for electricity and batteries. This can help consumers save money.
