At least first and second solar panels are provided, wherein: each of the first and second solar panels is comprised of a substrate having one or more solar cells bonded thereto, and a frame for supporting the substrate and the solar cells; the frame has a cutout or opening in a center of the frame under the solar cells and, when deployed, the cutout or opening enables cooling of the solar cells through the substrate by exposing a back side of the substrate for transferring or radiating heat directly through the cutout or opening of the frame; and the frame of the first solar panel is configured to be nested inside the cutout or opening of the frame of the second solar panel when the first and second solar panels are stowed in a stacked configuration.
