The present invention is intended to prevent shadow by a reflection plate, which may be generated according to a solar path variation, to increase a power generation efficiency of a solar cell module. To achieve the objects, one aspect of the present invention includes a solar cell panel and a reflection plate connected to and disposed on an edge of the solar cell pane, and angles between the reflection plates and a surface of the panel is simultaneously or individually varied.

A deployable solar array apparatus. There is a telescoping mast, being actuatable between an extended mode and a retracted mode; a pivoting head, coupled to a top portion of the telescoping mast; a plurality of arms, circumferentially and pivotally coupled to the head and extending outwardly therefrom, and actuatable between an extended mode and a retracted mode; and a plurality of solar panels coupled to exterior surfaces of the head and arms.

Provided is a method for deploying multiple solar power units to a location. The method comprises determining a location to which a solar power unit is deploying. The method further comprises determining that a second solar power unit is deploying to a same location as the solar power unit. A redeployment plan for the second solar power unit is generated. The redeployment plan is provided to the second solar power unit. The method further comprising deploying the solar power unit to the location.

An inflatable protective resting assembly for enclosing a child while the child is outdoors includes an inflatable enclosure that is inflatable to define an enclosed resting area for a child. A plurality of screens is each removably attachable to the inflatable enclosure to protect the child from insects and reduce exposure to sunlight. A socket is provided and the socket is coupled to the inflatable enclosure. A plurality of accessory units is each removably attachable to the socket to enhance safety and security of the child when the child is positioned in the enclosed resting area defined by the inflatable enclosure.

A motorized platform comprising one or more rails of solar panels is disclosed. The motorized platform includes one or more solar panel support devices. The solar panel support devices include a solar panel base configured to support one or more solar panels. The solar panel support devices include a compression ball joint connected to the solar panel base comprising axial rotational movement. The solar panel support devices include a plurality of wire rods configured to provide tension to the solar panel base. The motorized platform also includes one or more motors and springs.

Systems and methods for providing and controlling solar panel arrays are provided. The solar panel array may include one or more articulating joints that may provide variability in the arrangement of solar panels, which may allow the solar panel array to be distributed over varying types of underlying surfaces. The articulating joints may allow orientations of solar panels to be different relative to one another. The articulating joints may convey rotational force across the joints, so that a rotational force used to drive a first solar panel may also be conveyed across the joint and used to drive a second solar panel. The controls system may include row-specific semi-autonomous, or autonomous, controllers as well as controllers to interface with multiple rows. The controllers may include sensors to measure system power generation and basic operations aspects of the solar field to directly measure, or infer, module shading within the solar field. The controller may use this shading and operations data to identify shading, mitigate shading, identify methods to increase power generation, and identify optimum tilt angles for the tracker rows.
