Here’s PatSnap Eureka !
Summary
Problems
Solar cells face inefficiency due to a fixed angle, which limits sunlight exposure and duration, necessitating improved control mechanisms to maximize incident light angles.
Innovation solutions

TRIZ Analysis
Specific contradictions:
General conflict description:
Principle concept:
If solar cell modules are fixed at a constant angle, then the device structure is simple and easy to manufacture, but the power generation efficiency is reduced due to limited sunlight incidence duration
Why choose this principle:
The patent applies the dynamics principle by transitioning from a fixed-angle solar cell structure to a movable structure that can dynamically adjust its inclination angle. The solar cell modules are mounted on a support structure with a driving mechanism that enables them to change position and orientation according to the sun's movement, thereby optimizing sunlight capture throughout the day while maintaining manufacturing feasibility through modular design
Principle concept:
If solar cell modules are rotated individually to control incident angle, then the sunlight absorption is optimized, but the device complexity increases and efficiency deteriorates
Why choose this principle:
The patent merges multiple individual rotation mechanisms into a single integrated inclination control member that simultaneously adjusts the angle of multiple solar cell modules. This unified approach reduces the number of independent actuators and control systems needed, simplifying the overall device structure while maintaining the ability to optimize sunlight absorption for all modules collectively

Abstract
The solar power generating device according to the present invention comprises: solar cell modules disposed in a plurality of rows and columns; and an inclination control member for controlling the inclination angle of all the solar cell modules at a time, wherein the inclination control member comprises: a support part for supporting the solar cell modules; a control part, disposed on the support part, for controlling the inclination angle of the solar cell modules; and a driving part for driving the control part. In the solar power generating device according to an embodiment, the solar cell modules connected to the support unit can be vertically moved at one time by the inclination control member. In other words, the inclination control member can vertically control the plurality of solar cell modules, which are connected to the inclination control member, at a time according to the altitude of the sun so as to optimize the incident light.
