Abstract

A solar panel track (10) comprises a plurality of solar panels (12) that are connected to each other via joints (16). Such a track can be stowed rolled-up or folded in a zigzag manner, even though the individual solar panels (12) are substantially rigid, and can be set up on contoured terrain, where it can adapt to the slope of the terrain.
