  • FOLDING PHOTOVOLTAIC PANEL
    Publication number: 20180331652
    Abstract: A folding photovoltaic (PV) panel is described. The folding PV panel may include several subpanels interconnected by a hinge assembly. The hinge assembly may include a first section, a second section, and a third section between the first and second sections. The first section of the hinge assembly may couple to a first subpanel and the second section of the hinge assembly may couple to a second subpanel. The folding PV panel may include at least one electrical conductor extending from the first subpanel to the second subpanel. The at least one electrical conductor may be located in the hinge assembly or in a cabling assembly bridging a channel defined by edges of the first and second subpanels and the third section of the hinge assembly.
