ABSTRACT:
A system for storing and installing horizontally-placed photovoltaic arrays on a ship. The prior art is improved by holding the arrays steady in a four-sided frame. The arrays are placed parallel to the keel, strung between two succeeding yards and rolled up by rotating guides placed near two succeeding masts, and lowered to the deck to reduce windage. The procedure may be reversed.
