WOW big Tarps that could be moved & folded & taken down & stored before severe weather hits, that would be great.
Solar Powered shingles must be round the corner.

Also shade type things for gardens maybe required soon to help keep stuff growing & not dying in heat, we had these over certain flowerbeds & they absorbed 25% of the light.

I use tarps all the time, to cover something outside & plug the tarp into the grid would make power!
