Abstract: A framework for deployable solar panels that can be arranged above a container comprises a rectangular housing and lower movable frames. The framework also comprises upper movable frames arranged above the lower movable frames. The movable frames are suitable for each receiving an associated deployable solar panel. In the non-deployed position of the solar panels, the movable frames are fully contained inside the housing in respective planes one above the other. In the deployed position of the solar panels, the upper and lower movable frames are substantially in the same plane side by side, with the lower movable frame extending outwards beyond the transverse or longitudinal limits of the housing and passing between respective stacked beams of the lower frame and the upper frame of the housing.
