Abstract: Apparatuses and systems are presented for photovoltaic power production. A plurality of adaptive solar panels comprise photovoltaic faces and connective edge faces. Connective edge faces each comprise a panel connection interface so that the plurality of adaptive solar panels are releasably affixed one to another in configurations adaptive to surfaces and environmental geometric space constraints. Connective edge faces each further comprise a panel electrical connector such that the plurality of adaptive solar panels are releasably electrically connectable. One or more adaptive connection units comprise unit connection interfaces so that the one or more adaptive connection units are releasably affixed to the plurality of adaptive solar panels. One or more adaptive connection units further comprise one or more connection electrical connectors so that the one or more adaptive connection units are releasably electrically connectable to the plurality of adaptive solar panels.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for battery charging and power output. A system may include a plurality of hot-swappable, stackable slices for battery charging and power output. A slice may include communication circuitry for communication among the slices. A slice may include power input conversion circuitry, power storage circuitry, and/or power output conversion circuitry. A slice may include at least one electrical connector for connecting to a second slice. The at least one electrical connector may include connections for power and communications. A slice may include at least one mechanical connector for connecting to the second slice.

Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, and methods are disclosed for solar-powered battery charging. In a solar battery pack, one or more solar panels may be coupled to a foldable housing. A battery is also coupled to the housing. Charge control circuitry is electrically coupled to the solar panels and the battery. The charge control circuitry is configured to control power flow from the solar panels to the battery based on one or more predetermined characteristics of the solar panels.
