Abstract: Features for a solar generation system. The system includes a solar generator that may be installed on a shipping container. The solar generator includes one or more deployable rotating solar arrays. The rotating solar arrays may be deployed and stowed using actuators. The rotating solar arrays may be stowed for transport of the system on ships or to remote locations. The solar panels of the array are unexposed when stowed. A base frame with corner castings may attach to standard connections on cargo containers. The solar generators may be stacked on top of each other when stowed for transport. An actuation system may include linear actuators with two arms connecting at a moving pivot point that attach to a base frame and to the panels for deployment. Another actuation system may include end-mounted linear actuation arms with panel backside-mounted deployment arms.

Abstract: Features for a mobile solar generator. The system includes a deployable solar array using an actuator and torsion springs. The array can be locked into place after deployment. The array stows for transport of the system to remote locations. The solar panels of the array are unexposed when stowed, and secured into place using various locking mechanisms in both the stowed and deployed configurations. Tamper-resistant hardware is included in the solar array to prevent theft and damage.
