7. A nanogrid device for off-grid power, the nanogrid device comprising:
a housing having a first side portion and a second side portion disposed opposite the first side portion;
a first stack of energy-receiving components coupled to the first side portion of the housing; and
a second stack of energy-receiving components coupled to the second side portion of the housing, wherein each of the first stack of energy-receiving components and the second stack of energy receiving components has a top edge;
wherein the energy-receiving components of the first stack of energy-receiving components are slidable relative to one another and wherein each of the energy receiving components of the first stack of energy-receiving components is a solar door;
wherein the energy-receiving components of the second stack of energy receiving components are slidable relative to one another and wherein each of the energy receiving components of the second stack of energy-receiving components is a solar door; and
wherein the first stack of energy-receiving components and the second stack of energy receiving components are movable relative to the housing from a first, stored position to a second, fully deployed position, and wherein the top edge of the first stack energy-receiving components is disposed in contact with and the top edge of the second stack of energy receiving components at an apex to thereby form an A-frame structure in the second, fully deployed position, and wherein the housing is configured to be disposed underneath the A-frame structure in the second, fully deployed position.
