Claim:
1. A solar power system, comprising: a plurality of solar cells joined to a foldable base, the foldable base having one or more areas between solar cells configured to fold to enable stacking of the plurality of solar cells; at least one reflector coupled to the foldable base adjacent to one or more of the plurality of solar cells, the at least one reflector comprising a flexible material having a continuously flexible reflective face, the continuously flexible reflective face configured to reflect light towards one or more of the plurality of solar cells when the continuously flexible reflective face is in a reflective position; a voltage regulator coupled to the plurality of solar cells; and an electrical connector electrically coupled to the voltage regulator and configured to electrically couple to, and deliver an electric current to, an electrical device; wherein the at least one reflector is configured to fold over the plurality of solar cells along a fold that is parallel with a longest length of the solar power system, and; wherein when the at least one reflector is folded over the plurality of solar cells the at least one reflector and the plurality of solar cells are configured to be folded together in a roll fold to stack the plurality of solar cells and the at least one reflector.
