1. A solar platform comprising:
a frame structure having two longitudinal sides and two lateral sides;
a base solar panel laid flat on the frame structure and having an active side with a first plurality of solar cells facing in an upwards direction; and
a pivotable solar panel hinged and attached at a central area of the frame structure and the pivotable solar panel configured to be pivotable at least up to 10 degrees relative to the frame structure, the pivotable solar panel having an active side with a second plurality of solar cells facing away from the base solar panel;
an application downloadable onto a smartphone of a user, wherein the application is in communication with an electrical system of the solar platform to control the electrical system of the solar platform;
sensors are attached to the solar platform for measuring current flow, mapping current flow from each of the solar panels, current generated versus measured light intensity from a light sensor, percent battery charged, and percent battery remaining;
connecting the application and the sensors in communication for receiving data from the sensors and displaying the measured data on a screen of the smartphone.
