1. A photovoltaic enhanced electrical transmission system having plural electrical supply sources distributed along one or more load circuits carried by one or more transmission lines, at least one of said plural electrical supply sources having at least one photovoltaic supply source, comprising:

  • a utility pole suspending transmission lines;

    at least one solar electric generation station supplying electrical energy having at least one frame member supporting a plurality of individual solar panels on said utility pole;

    an adjustable pivot coupling one of said plurality of individual solar panels to said at least one frame member having a first adjustment inhibiting movement between said one of said plurality of individual solar panels and said at least one frame member, and having a second adjustment permitting movement between said one of said plurality of individual solar panels and said at least one frame member; and

    a power coupling that conducts electricity generated by said at least one solar electric generation station into said transmission lines;

    wherein one of said plurality of individual solar panels further comprises a support surface adapted to receive at least three photo-voltaic modules, andsaid support surface further comprises at least three solar collector panels, a second one of said at least three solar collector panels supporting a second one of said at least three photo-voltaic modules, the second one of said at least three solar collector panels affixed to a first one of said at least three solar collector panels through a first hinge, and affixed to a third one of said at least three solar collector panels through a second hinge.
