Mod Suggestion: Miura fold Solar Panels

[JohnDoen86]

It would be fantastic to have a solar panel that folded and unfolded using the miura fold. The miura fold is an origami piece created by a japanese astrophysicist in order to be able to unfold solar panels with just one motor. You can learn more about it here. And here is a demostration of the unfolding process.

Interesting, although I think you should rather suggest that in the mod section of the forum

Since this is a mod request, the thread has been moved to the mod subforum.

Hi?

I accepted the challenge and I'll work towards a mirua fold solar panel. Reddit is some further than this.

Sorry for making some advertisement here but I need some response: Could you please take a look at this mod?!

I eagerly look forward to having Miura Folding solar-panels, perhaps ones that can track the sun in two axes, thus always getting optimal angle for sunlight?

Don't know exactly how you mean it. Maybe take a look at the reddit-thread. There we are a little further. Maybe you can explain exactly what you want? @StevieC

Hello all & hi John,
Yes, I agree with you & your ideas. The folded solar panel is better than unfolding panel. Folded panel has many advantages, according to unfolded like it can transform easily from one place to another, light in weight, easy to use. I am also using folded solar panel from solargalore.com.au, it provides panel with an affordable price.
