The invention relates to the field of power engineering, namely to the conversion of solar energy into electric energy for power supply of systems with dimensional restrictions.The folding solar panel includes a carcass, consisting of sections (1), on which there are mounted photovoltaic cells (2). The carcass sections (1) are made in the form of disk sectors, joined between them by means of an axis (3) placed in the center of the curvature radius of the disk sectors with the possibility of folding thereof one over another, and of guides (4) placed on the cylindrical surface of each disk sector. The flanges (5 and 6) of the carcass sections (1) are articulated between them by means of elements (7) made of materials with shape memory, which in active state form the carcass circle. Invenţia se referă la domeniul energeticii, şi anume la conversiunea energiei solare în energie electrică pentru alimentarea sistemelor cu restricţii dimensionale.Panoul solar pliant include o carcasă, formată din secţiuni (1), pe care sunt montate celule fotovoltaice (2). Secţiunile (1) carcasei sunt executate în formă de sectoare de disc, unite între ele prin intermediul unei osii (3) plasate în centrul razei de curbură a sectoarelor de disc cu posibilitatea suprapunerii acestora şi a unor ghidaje (4) plasate la periferia circulară a fiecărui sector de disc. Flanşele (5 şi 6) secţiunilor (1) carcasei sunt legate între ele prin intermediul unor elemente (7) executate din material cu memoria formei, care în stare activă formează cercul carcasei. Изобретение относится к области энергетики, а именно к преобра-зованию энергии солнца в электрическую энергию для питания систем ограниченных размеров.Солнечная раздвижная панель включает каркас, состоящий из секций (1), на которых смонтированы фотоэлектрические ячейки (2). Секции (1) каркаса выполнены в форме секторов диска, связанных между собой посредством оси (3), которая находится в центре радиуса закругления секторов диска с возможностью складывания этих один на другой, и направляющих (4), расположенных на цилиндри-ческой поверхности каждого сектора диска. Фланцы (5 и 6) секций (1) каркаса шарнирно связаны между собой посредством элементов (7), выполненных из материалов с памятью формы, которые в активном состоянии формируют круг каркаса.
