1. A multi-position solar panel array system comprising:
a plurality of moveable frames that, when arranged in parallel for a first stationary solar power generation configuration, are configured to fit collectively within a first two-dimensional region comprising a width and a length, wherein each moveable frame, of the plurality of moveable frames, is configured to support a plurality of solar panels along at least a portion of the width of the first two-dimensional region;
at least two rails, comprising a first rail and a second rail, that are longer than the length of the first two-dimensional region and that are configured to support the plurality of moveable frames, wherein the first rail and the second rail are configured to be arranged in parallel to each other; and
a plurality of wheels comprising:
a first set of wheels configured to engage the first rail and to facilitate movement of the plurality of moveable frames along the first rail from the first two-dimensional region for the first stationary solar power generation configuration to a second two-dimensional region for a second stationary solar power generation configuration; and
a second set of wheels configured to engage the second rail and to facilitate movement of the plurality of moveable frames along the second rail from the first two-dimensional region to the second two-dimensional region.
