    Abstract: Systems and apparatuses are described for portable, solar-powered power generation. The systems and apparatuses include a plurality of solar panels affixed to a shipment container or box similar thereto. The solar panels may be stored within recesses along the sides of the shipment container and protected by protruding frames extending along the outer perimeters of the shipment container sides. The solar panels may be maneuvered via manual or power-aided systems for positioning the solar panels for receiving sunlight to facilitate the solar-powered power generation. The solar-generated power is controlled by an electrical control system for regulating and monitoring the generated power. A telescopic pole including an electrical load (e.g., a plurality of lights) may be raised upward from within the shipment container, and the generated solar power may be directed to the lights for providing illuminance to a surrounding area. Other loads may be powered by the system, as desired.
