ABSTRACT:
A plurality of lightweight sheets or panels are assembled to form a solar generator, especially for space craft. The panels or sheets which carry the solar cells, are made of fiber compound materials and are secured to a frame structure made of lightweight tubular members. Tensioning elements are operatively interposed between the frame structure and the panel sheets. The corners of the frame structures are provided with connecting elements so that several frames may be interconnected to form still larger assemblies. These assemblies may be folded and unfolded as desired.
