Problems solved by technology

The disadvantage of this sun tracker is that it requires two tracking mechanisms in two orthogonal axes, making it more expensive and complex
[0007] If those skilled in the art decide to use only the main tracking mechanism in the east-west direction in the sun tracker of the document CN101098113A for the sake of simplicity, it will be equivalent to the rotational movement of the horizontal plane support around the vertical axis, This brings about a more complex structure compared to the pivoting kinematic mechanism

Embodiment Construction

[0064] first reference Figures 1 to 4 , these figures show a solar tracker according to a first embodiment of the present invention, comprising a base 1 formed of connected metal segments forming an "H" shape and a photovoltaic panel 26 supported by a metal segment forming an "H" shape The solar cell panel 2 is composed of a support structure 25 formed by connected metal segments. Photovoltaic panels 26 consist of Figure 6 and 7 Clamp 31 , best shown in enlarged detail of , is secured to support structure 25 . The solar panel 2 has opposite first and second ends 2a, 2b. The first end 2a may be connected to the base 1 by a first axis E1 and the second end 2b may be connected to the base 1 by a second axis E2 such that when the first end 2a is connected to the base 1 and the second When the end 2b is disconnected from the base 1, the solar panel 2 can pivot relative to the base 1 around the first axis E1 ( figure 2 ), and when the second end 2b is connected to the base 1...

Abstract

The solar tracker comprises a base (1) and a solar panel (2) which has first and second, opposite ends (2a, 2b). The first end (2a) can be connected to the base (1) via a first shaft (E1) and the second end (2b) can be connected to the base (1) by a second shaft (E2), such that said solar panel (2) can pivot with respect to the base (1) either about the first shaft (E1) or the second shaft (E2) when actuated by a lifting mechanism. An automatic connection / disconnection device connects the second end (2b) of the solar panel (2) to the base (1) at the same time as disconnecting the first end (2a) of the solar panel (2) from the base (1), and vice versa, whenever the solar panel (2) attains a position parallel to the base (1), in order to reverse the inclination of the solar panel (2) with respect to the base (1).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a simple, compact and economical sun tracker suitable for small size solar panels with eg a single photovoltaic panel. The sun tracker of the present invention includes two alternating parallel axes of rotation that operate like a single axis of rotation for daily tracking in an east-west direction and are set to rotate in a north-south direction according to the latitude of the geographic location at which it is located. It is mounted at a fixed inclination angle deemed most suitable, although optionally it can also be used for daily or seasonal tracking in the north-south direction. Due to its small size and light weight, the solar tracker of the present invention can also be applied as a portable solar unit. Background technique [0002] For better efficiency of solar panels, such as photovoltaic panels, the sun's rays should strike them in the most vertical direction possible. For this purpose, sun trackers are us...
