A window covering solution equipped with solar panels is described. The solution amounts to linear slats, namely blinds, on which solar panels are disposed. The panels are configured to capture PV power and store it within at least one power cell composed of rechargeable batteries. The power is stored for later use to charge devices via one or more USB ports disposed at a bottom of the apparatus. LED lights are disposed within the apparatus, which are powered via solar power supplied from the solar panels disposed on the blinds. A smoke detector and security alarm, also indirectly powered via the solar panels, are preferably disposed within the apparatus.
