The antenna of claim 1, further comprising a coupler coupling the solar panel to the signal receiver panel, the coupler allowing the solar panel to rotate between 0 degrees and 360 degrees about the coupler with respect to the signal receiver panel. 3. The antenna of claim 2, wherein the coupler comprises a double hinge or a living hinge. 4. The antenna of claim 2, further comprising a handle disposed on the coupler. 5. The antenna of claim 4, wherein the coupler defines a handle cavity, the handle movable between a stowed position, wherein the handle is received within the handle cavity, and a deployed position, wherein the handle is graspable. 6. The antenna of claim 1, wherein the solar panel and the signal receiver panel are substantially square or rectangular shaped. 7. The antenna of claim 1, wherein the solar panel defines mounting holes proximate at least two adjacent corners of the solar panel. 8. The antenna of claim 7, further comprising a threaded rod received by one of the mounting holes defined by the solar panel. 9. The antenna of claim 1, wherein the mounting rod received by the mounting hole defined by the signal receiver panel comprises a threaded rod. 10. The antenna of claim 1, wherein the solar panel comprises a power storage device.
