Abstract
A photovoltaic system includes a trailer, a solar panel, a battery, a lamppost, a turret, a shackle, a horizontal position-adjusting unit and an orientation-retaining unit. The trailer includes a cage supported on a chassis. The solar panel is supported on the cage. The battery is supported on the chassis and electrically connected to the solar panel. The lamppost includes a lamp supported thereon and electrically connected to the battery. The turret rotationally connects the lamppost to the chassis. The shackle is provided around the lamppost. The horizontal position-adjusting unit movably connects the shackle to the cage. The orientation-retaining unit retains the lamppost in a desired orientation relative to the shackle.
