Bob Triming from Australia created an ingenious do-it-yourself modification for his power wheelchair. He added a canopy with solar panels lining the top service. This setup does not actually generate enough electricity to power the wheelchair, but it does add an additional 30 minutes at full power on sunny days.

The entire canopy frame can be easily detached for transport. On rainy days, although the solar panels aren’t very helpful with power generation, the overhead assembly serves as a good umbrella.

While he was at it, Bob also added LED lights to the rear and side of his wheelchair to enhance nighttime visibility.

Very clever and very cool.
