Solar Array Assembly And Method For Making The Same

US Patent:
2011019, Aug 11, 2011
Filed:
Feb 10, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/703323
Inventors:
Bruce F. Brothersen - Brigham City UT, US
Assignee:
NUCOR CORPORATION - Charlotte NC
International Classification:
F24J 2/02, F24J 2/00
US Classification:
126680, 126714
Abstract:
A movable solar array and method for capturing solar energy which includes a V-shaped longitudinal support forming a corner of an elongated truss located at each angle of a polygonal axial cross-section where an open web is fixedly attached between each V-shaped longitudinal support extending the length of the elongated truss. An end member is fixedly attached at each end of the support truss and includes a shaft extending longitudinally outwardly from the end member adapted to engage a drive to longitudinally rotate the elongated truss. Solar panels are attached along one face of the elongated truss, and at least one rotatable drive is capable of driving the shafts at the end of the elongated truss to move the solar panels in relation to a change of direction of incoming solar energy.
