A deployable solar panel system (300) includes a plurality of solar cell panels (200) that are mechanically and electrically coupled to each other prior to shipment to an installation site (400), folded in a stacking arrangement within a packaging container (330) for shipment to the installation site, and then unfolded to deploy the solar cell panels (200) at a desired tilt angle (A1, A2) during installation at the installation site. In one embodiment, the solar cell panels (200) are mechanically coupled to each other using a hinge assembly (301), such as a hinge bracket (304) and hinge pin (306). Each solar cell panel system (200) is electrically coupled to each other using a series string (316). The series string (316) may be electrically coupled to a DC-DC converter (314) and/or a DC-AC inverter (318).
