Claim 14:
15. A solar generation system configured for attaching to a cargo container, the cargo container having a top, a bottom, and four sides, the system comprising:
a base frame configured to extend over the top of the cargo container and configured to support one or more solar arrays, the base frame comprising one or more hinge tubes, the one or more solar arrays including one or more rotating solar arrays rotatably coupled to the base frame via the one or more hinge tubes, wherein each individual rotating solar array is configured to rotate about one of the one or more hinge tubes between a stowed position and a deployed position, wherein the one or more solar arrays include one or more stationary solar arrays configured to lie flat on top of the base frame when in the stowed position, and wherein at least one of one or more solar panels of the one or more solar arrays are exposed to sunlight when in the deployed position; and
one or more actuation assemblies configured to attach to the base frame and to extend along one side of the four sides of the container, the one or more actuation assemblies configured to rotate the one or more rotating solar arrays between the deployed position and the stowed position, each actuation assembly comprising:
an actuator arm configured to extend linearly along the side of the container; and
a lever arm connected to the actuator arm at a pivot point at a first end and attached to one or more of the one or more rotating solar arrays at a second end, wherein the pivot point moves linearly in response to linear extension of the actuator arm, and wherein the lever arm is located above the one or more rotating solar arrays and above the top of the container when the one or more rotating solar arrays are in the stowed position.
