Bogie for each panel could pull it around the yard like a train.

I can see it . A dedicated PV locomotive (tractor) that hauls a string of solar panels behind it. You could incorporate your SCC/inverter at the tractor and simply plug in the cars panels as each connects up for trailing. Maybe the caboose can be where you stick the batteries?

Actually, six or seven panels linked together with eyebolts. You only have to get a lever to pull the whole deal forward three or 4 inches and fold down the grass that grows up between them. Just inch them forward every month or so then back the other way when you run out of yard. Would only have to weed eat the sides

The 700 watt is bi- facial and is a beast. Easily makes it even though it's winter in my part of the world! Can't wait till summer as the manufacturers say it's capable of over 800 watts!

So... I learnt a new word today - just had to look up "caboose"!
I obviously wasn't paying enough attention to the TV series 'Casey Jones' when I was a kid. Though I must point out that the series aired in the UK about 15 years later than it did in the USA

Easy way to move 700W Bluesuns three at same time. Just needs 15ton excavator...
Well, if you have -35C or below and fresh snow down there in summer, they make over 900W.
Factory and business windows don’t stand a chance around here so they are just too tempting for my local idiots. But dang that looks awesome

I can't find the link now but a company had designed an assembly where panels were pre mounted to an accordion like trellis (ground mount), and then a big forklift would be used to extend out each stacked string. Except the strings ended up being 9 meters by 54 meters. Productivity was crazy something like 8 workers deploying over a mw in 9 hours or something

I would mount each panel on a wood skid, and connect the skids with chain or cable. A riding lawnmower or golf cart can pull the train. Round the leading edge of the skids to prevent digging into the ground.
I pull lots of heavy stuff using my electric golf cart. Even pulled a 395 lb Generac 14KW home backup skid across the lawn to get it into location.

It's literally a ground mount system
