FIG. 5 is a front view of the solar panel array of FIG. 1;



FIG. 6 is a rear view of the solar panel array of FIG. 1;



FIG. 7 is a right side view of the solar panel array of FIG. 1; and,



FIG. 8 is a left side view of the solar panel array of FIG. 1.


The dot-dot-dash broken lines and wavy broken lines at the middle of the design illustrate a symbolic break. These lines and the appearance of any portion of the article between the break lines form no part of the claimed design. All other broken lines illustrate portions of the solar panel array that form no part of the claimed design.
