Modular solar panel enclosure
The present disclosure provides a solar panel enclosure having an assembled mode and a dissembled mode. The solar panel enclosure comprises a tripod and three solar panels detachably coupled to the tripod forming an enclosure. Each of the three solar panels has a substantial trapezoidal configuration and comprises a bottom edge, a top edge, and two side edge. The three solar panels are detachable coupled to one another on the two side edges by a joining mechanism. Each of the three solar panels further comprises a first portion having a plurality of first solar cells and a second portion having a plurality of second solar cells. The first portion is pivotally configurable about an axis relative to the second portion.
