Folding Solar Array, retractable

Greetings fellow engineers :D

This is a foldable, retractable Solar array that I build and designed .

it features:
========
-32 small grid solar panels that are folded together into a tight package via rotors and hinges
-single Button deployment and retraction
-a gate to shield it from the outside
-maximum power output of 1.28 MW (so 8 large Grid solar panels)
(-the only DLC block is that spinning light thingy)

This thing is purely manuel, I have not figred out a way to make it work with solar scrips, and I don't think I ever will (atleast not with this design that is :P )

Before you happily past this onto ships, stations and other creations that I will be happy to see know this:
CLANG (kind of) HATES THIS CREATION. Feel free to test it out in a creative world to get a feeling for it befor continuing :D It works 99% of the time...but when the 1% happen were it doesn't work...oh boy...

Known Issues
==========
there is an issue when pasting this onto a static grid or a station. Subgrid blocks will merge with other grids, making this contraption unsusable...unfortunatly there is no fix that I know of.


This build was inspired by Reddit, after ALOT of people commented "but can it retract?" :D

I hope you like it!
May Clang have mercy on your creations!
