STRUCTURE FOR STOWING AND DEPLOYING SOLAR PANELS

An apparatus is provided for supporting solar panels in a stowed position and a deployed position. The apparatus comprises opposing end panels that each include a stationary track and first and second rigid frames configured to secure solar panels. One rigid frame is secured between the end panels and the other rigid frame is secured between first and second trolleys. The trolleys are moveable along the stationary tracks to deployable tracks supported by a pair of laterally extending arms. The pair of arms are selectively positionable in deployed positions in which the deployable tracks extend in a first lateral direction in alignment with the stationary tracks. Positioning the pair of arms in the deployed position enables the trolleys to be moved along the stationary tracks to the deployable tracks.
