Abstract

[This chapter discusses the design of foldable mounting equipment for solar cell panels. The equipment consists of a number of scissorlike elements. After assembly, each unit becomes a solar cell mounting bracket when it is deployed; the frame of each unit forms the space for fixing solar cell panels through fixtures. The merit of the structure is that the whole structure occupies less space when completely folded. So it is also very convenient for manufacturing and transporting because of its less occupied space when folded. Meanwhile, it is also available to form arc-shaped or any spatial curved space panels by changing the positions of the center joints of scissor units in assembly. The chapter first investigates the geometry of each foldable unit and then focuses on statics of the structure and simulation experiments.]
