Abstract: The present invention discloses a photovoltaic assembly for a portable solar energy system, the photovoltaic assembly comprising: a row of interconnected photovoltaic panels or laminates; a foldable stiffening and/or supporting structure comprising articulated members, the foldable stiffening and/or supporting structure being movable between a folded position, in which the articulated members are received in a receiving zone provided in the photovoltaic assembly, and an operative position, in which the foldable stiffening and/or supporting structure protrudes out from the receiving zone; and wherein the receiving zone comprises at least one intermediate region located adjacent to contiguous longitudinal side edges of adjacent photovoltaic panels or laminates, said intermediate region being configured to receive therein in the folded position one or more of the articulated members of the stiffening and/or supporting structure. The photovoltaics panels or laminates are interconnected by at least a first connection pin and/or by at least one intermediate beam.

Abstract: The deployable solar tracker system comprises a single-axis solar tracker (1) including a plurality of foldable panel array sections (10, 10a). Each foldable panel array section (10, 10a) comprises a shaft section (11), a plurality of support ribs (12) hinged to the shaft section (11), a plurality of solar panels (13) attached to the support ribs (12) and a handling element (28) attached on top of the shaft section (11). The handling element (28) has one or more handle openings (29, 30) dimensioned for receiving one or more lift members oriented in a transversal direction perpendicular to the shaft section (11). The handle openings (29, 30) of the handling elements (28) of the plurality of the foldable panel array sections (10, 10a) are mutually aligned when the plurality of foldable panel array sections (10, 10a) are arranged in a shipping arrangement.
