Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel system for folding and stabilizing flexible and continuous solar panels including fold lines. The folding system comprises a V-shaped element having arms whose free ends are fixed on both sides of the corresponding fold line of the panel, while the tip of the V is connected to the fold line itself by means of a pull sheet. The arms of the V-shaped element have a camber when the panel is unfolded, so as to exert a pulling force on the fold line, said folding systems being optionally associated with suitable stabilizing systems. The invention is useful in the folding and stabilizing of solar panels.
