A deployable support particularly suited for use in operatively supporting arrays of solar cells aboard spacecraft, characterized by a plurality of independent modules, each including a panel formed of a plurality of trapezoidal panel segments and articulated track segments adapted to be stowed in a folded configuration and simultaneously deployed into a laterally extended and a substantially continuous surface circumscribing an associated spacecraft for positioning arrays of solar cells in an operative disposition. A particular feature of the support is an inclusion of cantilever structure which accommodates deployment of panels of solar cells in a continuous harmonic sequence for thereby substantially eliminating the normally attendant transient loading of spacecraft during panel deployment.
