1. A method for portably generating solar power, comprising:
mounting an electrical component box on a pickup truck bed;
mounting a solar panel box atop said electrical component box in said pickup truck bed;
initiating a deployment of a plurality of solar panels contained within said solar panel box into an open configuration;
tracking movement of a sun across a sky;
positioning the plurality of solar panels to follow the movement of the sun across the sky; and
storing power generated by the plurality of solar panels in a plurality of batteries contained within said electrical component box,
wherein said electrical component box further comprises:
a controller;
a display; and
a plurality of plugs,
wherein said plurality of solar panels are stored within and atop said solar panel box in a closed configuration,
wherein said plurality of solar panels stored within said solar panel box in the closed configuration are extended outward away from said solar panel box in said open configuration, and
wherein a controller controls the positioning of the plurality of solar panels extended outward away from said solar panel box in said open configuration such that the panels are moved using a plurality of linear track actuators to follow the sun's movement across the sky.
