A transportable, self-contained, solar power system comprised of a plurality of individual solar power arrays, each array being contained within a transportable frame. Each array is folded into a frame during transportation. Upon reaching a desired location, the frame is positioned at a desired location. The frame then acts as a base while its solar power array is activated and deployed. The array has the capability of tracking the position of the sun during deployment. Each frame has a global positioning system (GPS) and a controller containing a chart of sun locations for a given location. The controller positions a frame's solar array to maximize the array's exposure to the sun. Each frame has a battery system, enabling a frame's solar array to self-start after a period of darkness.

1. A transportable solar power system, comprising: a plurality of individual solar power arrays, each array being contained within a generally rectangular uni-tracker transportable frame sized to fit on a flat bed trailer or within a cargo container, each array adapted to being lifted, lowered and turned to maximize the gathering of solar energy by means of a right side and a left side positioning apparatus in each said frame;electric and electronic wiring means within each uni-tracker transportable frame for distributing and controlling power from said solar power array;a system controller providing a global positioning system (GPS) determining the precise location of a particular frame, said system controller containing a plurality of tables in a storage means adapted to determine the exact location of the sun during each day and month at the precise location of the frame, said system controller providing positioning commands to said positioning apparatus;a battery system in each said frame attached to said electric and electronic wiring means for storing a portion of the power generated by the solar array;wherein each solar power array is joined to a uni-tracker transportable frame by means of said right side and left side positioning apparatus adapted to lift the solar panel array above the uni-tracker transportable frame and rotate the solar panel array about a single longitudinal axis;wherein each said uni-tracker transportable frame has a top, a bottom, a front, a rear, two opposite, long side bars terminating in two opposite, short side bars, said short side bars defining a uni-tracker transportable frame longitudinal axis, said long side bars defining a unit-tracker transportable frame transverse axis;wherein each said unit-tracker transportable frame has three transverse slots comprising a first slot containing the right side positioning apparatus and being positioned adjacent a uni-tracker frame right short side bar, extending one long side bar to the other long side bar, a second slot containing electric and electronic wiring means and being positioned adjacent a uni-tracker frame left short side bar, extending from one long side bar to the other long side bar, and a third slot containing the left side positioning apparatus and being positioned adjacent the second slot and extending from one long side bar to the other long side bar, said second slot having a solid floor on the frame bottom fixedly attached to each long side bar and an adjacent short bar;wherein said right and left side positioning apparatus are each comprised of a scissors jack, each scissor jack having a base portion fixedly attached to transverse sides within said first and third slots, each scissor jack having an upper portion supporting a cylindrical motor housing engaging an elongated hollow rod, said rod interconnecting both scissors jacks and having a longitudinal axis parallel to the frame longitudinal axis, each scissor jack having a scissors-like linkage means connecting the base and upper portions, each scissors jack including a first member forming one of the linkage pivot connections, said first member also threadingly receiving a jack operating screw, said operating screw rotatably extending through a second member, opposite the first member, which forms another pivot point for the linkage, said screw having one end terminating in a jack actuator comprised of a cylindrical electric motor/gear box attached to a mounting bracket;wherein each solar power array is comprised of a double row of a plurality of solar panels, each said panel having a generally rectangular shape and being attached to a support arm running perpendicular to and fixedly and directly attached to the elongated hollow rod, said panels being arranged to all lie in the same plane, said elongated hollow rod being attached to an internal rotating component of an in-line, planetary-geared motor within the cylindrical motor housing wherein the hollow rod is adapted to being turned thereby axially rotating the array of panels about the elongated rod longitudinal axis. 2. A transportable solar power system as recited in claim 1, wherein said electronic and electrical wiring means is further comprised of: a charge controller receiving a direct current (DC) from said solar panels, said charge controller directing a portion of said DC current to said battery system, said charge controller directing another portion of said DC current to a direct current—analog current (DC-AC) converter, said DC-AC converter providing an AC power to a main AC panel. 3. A transportable solar power system as recited in claim 2, wherein: the electric and electronic wiring means for a plurality of transportable frames may be ganged together.
