Counterbalanced Dual Axis Solar Tracking System
US Patent:
2012023, Sep 20, 2012
Filed:
Feb 17, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/399970
Inventors:
Mark Scanlon - Sedona AZ, US
Glendon R. Good - Sedona AZ, US
Glendon R. Good - Sedona AZ, US
International Classification:
H01L 31/042, G01J 1/20
US Classification:
2502034, 136251, 136244
Abstract:
A high efficiency, environmentally friendly system comprising a plurality of photovoltaic solar collecting panels (PV panels) is disclosed. The system comprises an outer frame to which a plurality of inner frames are mounted to which the plurality of PV panels are attached. To minimize shadowing by the outer frame upon one or more PV panels, at least one PV panel may extend beyond an endpoint of the main frame. The system also comprises an outer frame rotation actuator that rotates the outer frame and an inner frame rotation actuator that rotates the inner frames and the plurality of PV panels. The solar tracking array frames disclosed herein help to improve the quality of the environment by conserving a variety of energy resources (e.g., fossil fuels, hydroelectric energy, etc.) The solar tracking array frames disclosed herein also help to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as solar tracking array frames do not produce carbon dioxide byproducts.
