Abstract: A panel array and associated deployment system may include a first cable extending along a first row of panels and coupled to each panel of the first row of panels. The array and system may further include a second cable extending along a second row of panels and coupled to each panel of the second row of panels. The array and system may also include a first column of panels comprising a panel from the first row of panels and a panel from the second row of panels. The system may further include a spool positioned adjacent the first column of panels. The spool may be coupled to at least one of the first cable and the second cable and configured to apply tension to the first cable and/or the second cable.
