- a handle 312 is attached to one end 316 of an elongated threaded lifting rod 314.
- the other end 317 of the lifting rod 314 is then screwed into the threaded hole 309 of the lifting pin 308.
- the lifting rod 314 is inserted from underneath through the lifting pin 308 until the free end 317 abuts the lifting cap plate 304 of the panel inner frame 202.
- the lifting rod 314 is rotated against the lifting pin 308 which stays in position in the panel outer frame 201 .
- the rod 314 thus extends increasingly through the lifting pin 308 and pushes the panel inner frame 202 upwardly.
- the lifting rod 314 is rotated until the panel inner frame 202 with the solar panels 34 is at the required tilt angle.
- Supports 206 are then positioned between the spaced ends of the panel outer frame 201 and the panel inner frame 202 as further described below with reference to Figure 22. Once the panel inner frame 202 is secured with the support brackets 206, the lifting tools are removed. For lowering the panel inner frame 202 to the transport/storage position, the steps are reversed.
- FIGs 19 and 20 show a similar lifting assembly 300 for the panel structure 32, with the lifting tools being attached from above.
- the lifting cap plate 304 is attached at the panel outer frame 201 .
- the lifting pin 308 is positioned into supports of the panel inner frame 202.
- the free other end 317 of the lifting rod 314 is then screwed into the threaded hole 309 of the lifting pin 308.
- the lifting rod 314 is inserted from above through the lifting pin 308 until the free end 317 abuts the lifting cap plate of the panel outer frame 201 .
- the support brackets 206 are then removed.
- the lifting rod 314 is rotated in the opposite direction against the lifting pin 308 which stays in position in the panel inner frame 202. This lowers the inner frame 202 to the outer frame 201 .
- Figure 22 shows the supports 206.
- the supports 206 are comprised of segments 330 each having three spaced apertures 332.
- the apertures 332 are spaced to define sub-segments 334 between adjacent apertures 332.
- Each segment 330 thus has two sub-segments 334.
- Each sub-segment 334 is adapted to provide a 5° angle tilt between the panel outer frame 201 and the panel inner frame 202.
- Figure 22(a) shows a segment 330 with an end aperture 334 thereof mounted to the panel outer frame 201 and a mid-portion aperture 334 thereof mounted to the panel inner frame 202.
- the outer ends of the frames 201 and 202 are thus spaced by one sub-segment 334 providing a 5° tilt.
- Bolts or other suitable quick release fasteners are inserted through the required apertures 334.
- Figure 22(b) shows a segment 330 with an end aperture 334 thereof mounted to the panel outer frame 201 and an opposite end aperture 334 thereof mounted to the panel inner frame 202.
- the outer ends of the frames 201 and 202 are thus spaced by two sub-segments 334 providing a 10° tilt.
- Figure 22(c) uses two segments 330 to provide a spacing of three sub- segments 334 and thus a 15° tilt.
- a sub-segment 334 of the two segments 330 are overlapped with each other and connected. This results in the three sub-segments 334.
- Figures 22(d) to (e) uses three or more segments 330 to provide a spacing of four to six sub-segments 334 respectively and thus a 20°, 25° or 30° tilt.
- Sub- segments 334 are overlapped with each other and connected as needed and the support can also include segment connectors 338 for supporting the connected segments to provide the required length.
- the array attachment assembly thus provides solar capability which can be added to portable power systems, particularly those housed in a shipping container.
- the array attachment assembly can be easily transported with the shipping container.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne une centrale électrique portable (10) conçue comme un système complet portatif à 100% configuré pour fournir de l'énergie, contenu à l'intérieur d'un conteneur d'expédition de longueur standard (8 pieds, 10 pieds, 20 pieds, 40 pieds). La centrale électrique portable comporte un boîtier (12) (10) présentant une paroi de base (14), des parois latérales (16), des parois d'extrémité (18) et une paroi supérieure (20). Le boîtier (12) est un conteneur d'expédition de taille standard ayant des coins de conteneur (22). La centrale électrique portable (10) comporte un réseau solaire (30) comprenant quatre structures de panneaux généralement horizontales (32). Les structures de panneaux (32) sont mobiles entre une position escamotée à l'intérieur de l'espace interne supérieure (23) et une position déployée (pendant l'utilisation). Dans la position escamotée, les structures de panneaux (32) sont disposées de manière empilée sous la paroi supérieure (20) et peuvent être contenues à l'intérieur du boîtier (12) par l'intermédiaire des sections supérieures (82) comme illustré dans la Figure 2. Dans la position déployée, chaque structure de panneaux (32) s'étend vers l'extérieur hors du boîtier (12), dans une direction latérale respective, comme illustré dans la Figure 1.
