1. A packaging system comprising:
(a) a housing having:
i) a tapered portion which includes a tapered hollow cavity and defines a front of the housing, the front of the housing includes a slot formed therein which defines an entry into the tapered hollow cavity, and wherein the tapered hollow cavity narrows to a linear hole of the housing which is opposite the slot;
ii) a box portion which defines a hollow cavity and the hollow cavity shares the linear hole of the tapered portion such that the linear hole defines an entry into the hollow cavity;

(b) a plurality of photovoltaic solar panels having opposing faces removably positioned within the hollow cavity of the box portion of the housing;
(c) one or more light guide panels removably disposed between the plurality of photovoltaic solar panels such as to form a stack and located within the hollow cavity of the housing,
wherein the one or more light guide panels are one or more edge lit light panes, each having opposing planar faces connected by a peripheral edge,
wherein a portion of the peripheral edge of each of the one or more light guide panels is adjacent to the linear hole; and
wherein a planar face of a light guide panel of the one or more light guide panels faces toward a face of a photovoltaic solar panel of the plurality of photovoltaic solar panels; and

(d) a plurality of linear concentrating lenses linearly abutting one another and positioned within the slot of the tapered portion;
wherein the plurality of linear concentrating lenses are formed in a row which is parallel with the peripheral edge at the linear hole of each of the one or more light guide panels and the row is perpendicular to a direction of the stack of the plurality of photovoltaic solar panels and the one or more light guide panels;
wherein the plurality of linear concentrating lenses are configured to concentrate a light from a light source through the slot toward the linear hole of the housing to reach the one or more light guide panels;
wherein the one or more light guide panels are configured to receive the light at the peripheral edge from the plurality of linear concentrating lenses via the linear hole;
wherein the one or more light guide panels are configured to disperse the light via the one or more planar faces towards the faces of the plurality of photovoltaic solar panels; and
wherein the plurality of photovoltaic solar panels and the one or more light guide panels are configured to slide in and out of the hollow cavity of the housing.
