Patent attributes
Apparatus and methods for generating electricity and maintaining data are described. A unit has multiple solar panels and a set of hinges into which additional hardware may be added. Rotatable hinges allow rotatable solar panels to move between open, partial open and closed configurations of the unit. For a closed configuration, each rotatable hinge holds each solar panel relative to one another in the approximate cubic shape. A set of hinges may be a set of removeable rods and sleeves. In a further feature, electronics positioned within a solar unit are protected and electromagnetically shielded. A switch controls a security state of the solar unit that varies depending on whether the solar unit is in an open, partial open or closed configuration. The security state may include the type of external communication and access permitted. Skate or skateboard assemblies provide greater mobility.
