There are 2 types of 2x3 and 1x6 solar panels,  SP-L/W panels can be retracted and deployed , OX-4W/L panels can only be deployed.

The panels you are using are the OX-4L panels which can only be deployed

Thank you ..

The ones you're using can't be retracted.

If you wanted them to retract and are running ModuleManager *.*.* you could write a MM like this 

@PART[solarPanels3]
{
 @MODULE[ModuleDeployableSolarPanel]
 {
 %retractable = true
 }
}

@PART[solarPanels4]
{
 @MODULE[ModuleDeployableSolarPanel]
 {
 %retractable = true
 }
}

It has been sometime that I write MM's patches but pretty sure that's it hope it helps

@Mecripp there are already panels that retract and they have a nice white case no need to bother with make it an mm patch
