NOVELTY - The shelter (200) has several retractable electrical outlets (150-1-150-9) which are mechanically coupled to bottom portions of a group of horizontally oriented metal support beams. The electrical outlets are mechanically coupled in spaced apart relation to one another. A power interface unit is electrically coupled to several solar panels and electrical outlets. The power interface unit receives power from solar panels and provides power to each of electrical outlets. The roof is at a non-horizontal angle based on respective heights of the sets of vertically oriented metal support beams.    USE - Solar powered charging shelter e.g. canopy.    ADVANTAGE - The amount of power provided to and received from the utility grid can be monitored, recorded, and/or output to various interested parties. The electrical outlets can be retractable reels that can extend and retract power cord and plug. The cord can stop to prevent it from retracting fully, so the cord and plug can hang at a desired level when not in use. The cord and plug can hang below the shelter so as to be retrieved by a user or service provider of system when fully retracted. The cord and plug can extend a maximum distance from the reel so that they do not reach the ground or floor under the shelter, and prevents the cord and plug from contacting the ground and possibly becoming damaged by ground conditions and/or hit or run over by a vehicle entering under the shelter. The flush mounting of tubular or generally tube-shaped elongate support elements can be improved because there is no gap or space for unwanted materials or objects to enter and occupy.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are included for the following:    (1) charging system for shelter; and    (2) method of making charging canopy.
