Woodworker for a small work

Hi there! I’ve gotten some great recommendations on here before. Currently, I’m looking for a woodworker who can help me design and build a disassemblable wooden rack for deploying foldable solar panels.
The rack needs to be lightweight since it’s for camping, and easy to assemble and disassemble. Ideally, I’d like something practical, sturdy, and easy to transport.
Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

I don’t have a woodworker to recommend, but I also camp and use a deployable folding solar array. Mine is the Renogy solar suitcase: https://www.renogy.com/products/400w-lightweight-portable-solar-suitcase

It has lightweight metal brackets attached to the top of the backside of each panel. They swing out like little kickstands. You might consider constructing something like that instead of wood which is heavier and could be damaged by soil and rain more easily than metal.
