Abstract:
1. A portable solar power system comprising: a trailer having a frame having a center axis, two wheels coupled to opposite sides of the center axis of the frame, a trailer hitch on the center axis and coupled to the frame for towing the trailer; a plurality of posts mounted to the frame of the trailer; a first beam rotatably coupled to the posts mounted at left front and left back portions of the frame; a second beam rotatably coupled to the posts mounted at right front and right back portions of the frame; a first group of solar panels mounted on the first beam; a second group of solar panels mounted on the second beam; a battery pack; a battery management system coupled between the first group of solar panels, the second group of solar panels and the battery pack, the battery management system receiving DC power from the first group of solar panels and the second group of solar panels, transmitting the DC power to the battery pack and preventing the battery pack from being over charged; an inverter coupled to the charge controller for converting DC power from the first group of solar panels and the second group of solar panels into AC power; and a power outlet coupled to the inverter for providing AC power to electrical devices; wherein the first beam and the second beam are parallel to the center axis of the trailer, the first group of solar panels and the second group of solar panels are each rotatable between vertical positions and angled positions over a rotational range that is greater than 90 degrees from the vertical positions; and wherein the first group of solar panels and the second group of solar panels each have a light absorbing side and a back side and the first group of solar panels and the second group of solar panels have a vertical transportation position achieved by rotating the first group of solar panels and the second group of solar panels axially around the first beam and second beam respectively whereby the back sides of the first group of solar panels and the second group of solar panels faces away from the center axis of the trailer and the light absorbing sides of the first group of solar panels and the second group of solar panels faces inward towards the center axis of the trailer.
