ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus is provided comprising flexible and continuous solar arrays, wherein said solar arrays have fold lines formed on each array at regular intervals, and wherein the apparatus includes systems for folding the solar array. The folding system comprises: (1) V-shaped elements whose rigidity outside the plane of the unfolded array is greater than that of the folded array, each of the V-shaped elements being fixed by one of its free ends to the solar array on one side of a fold line of an array and being fixed by the other of its free ends to the solar array on the other side of the fold line; and (2) stretchers connecting the tip of the V of each of the V-shaped elements to the fold line. The folding systems are preferably associated with suitable stabilizing systems. The invention is useful in the folding and stabilizing of solar arrays.
