Abstract
This invention provides a portable system for the generation of photovoltaic energy. The power plant is provided as a kit in a plurality of containers, each of which can be carried by one person. This power plant can be assembled in a few hours by two people. The power plant is adjustable and can adapt to a variety of locations and environments. The power plant includes a frame structure, a movable photovoltaic collection array of more than one solar panel, a power management module, battery power storage system and various cables. The power plant can include shelving and can function as a vehicle port. The photovoltaic collection array can be pivotally raised and lowered for optimal solar power collection manually or mechanically. In further embodiments, more than one such power plant can be joined together to create a portable local power grid.
