A deployable solar array (1) is mounted on a rocket in a stowed position and deployed in space. The deployable solar array (1) includes a plurality of frame body units (10). Each frame body unit (10) includes a frame body (20) and a film (30). The frame body (20) defines a frame shape. The film (30) is attached to the frame body (20). The film (30) appears as a mounting surface in an opening that is formed by the frame shape defined by the frame body (20), with a plurality of solar cells (40) mounted on the mounting surface. According to the deployable solar array (1), effects that are advantageous for low cost, space saving, and mass productivity are obtained, compared to the widely used conventional rigid panel type solar arrays.
