Abstract
Solar power and other renewable energy systems are useful for generating electrical energy with no environmental effects. Example embodiments of the present invention provide for mobile transport of power generation systems, such as a solar power energy collection system, that can be transported via a mobile system, such as a truck, trailer, or railway transport system, and positioned anywhere the mobile transport system can travel to provide temporary or permanent energy producing capacity.

1-10. (canceled)
A mobile power system, comprising:
- a mobile transport system;
- a power generation system including a power generation assembly, the power generation system configured to be transported by the mobile transport system in a retracted state and configured to convert energy to available power in an operational state;
- and
- a telescoping lift system configured to enable the power generation assembly to rotate about an azimuth axis and to enable the power generation assembly to rotate about an elevation axis, the elevation axis being other than at an edge of the power generation assembly, the telescoping lift system further configured to vertically translate the power generation assembly above a chassis of the mobile transport system and raise and lower the power generation assembly for the operational and retracted states, respectively.
A method of transporting a power system, the method comprising:
- maintaining a mobile transport system configured to carry a power generation system including a power generation assembly;
- configuring the power generation system to be transported by the mobile transport system in a retracted state and convert energy to available power in an operational state;
- and
- configuring a telescoping lift system to vertically translate the power generation assembly above a chassis of the mobile transport system and rotate the power generation assembly about an azimuth axis and an elevation axis, the elevation axis being other than at an edge of the power generation assembly, and further configuring the telescoping lift system to raise and lower the power generation assembly for the operational and retracted states, respectively.
A mobile power system, comprising:
- means for transporting a power generation system including a power generation assembly;
- means for configuring the power generation system to be transported by the mobile power system in a retracted state and convert energy to available power in an operational state;
- and
- telescoping means for vertically translating the power generation assembly above a chassis of the mobile power system and rotating the power generation assembly about an azimuth axis and an elevation axis, the elevation axis being other than at an edge of the power generation assembly, said telescoping means for vertically translating the power generation assembly further being configured for raising and lowering the power generation assembly for the operational and retracted states, respectively.
