Folding solar panel

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of conversion of solar energy into electric energy for power supply of systems with dimensional restrictions. The folding solar panel includes a carcass, consisting of sections, on which there are mounted photovoltaic cells. The flanges of the carcass sections are articulated between them by means of elements made of materials with shape memory.
