Abstract
A solar panel apparatus includes a set of electrically-interconnected photovoltaic modules. Each module is elongated along an axis and has first and second axially opposite ends. Each module further has photovoltaic surface portions facing away from the axis in different directions to receive light to generate electricity. The first ends of the modules are fixed to a first end rail.
