Benefits of technology

[0009]Another objective of the present invention is to use the setting of the control mechanism to correct the corresponding position of the solar panel to face the Sun in real-time, such that

Problems solved by technology

The solar panel in a conventional solar energy generating system is generally installed at a fixed angle, and as it does not acquire vertical incident Sunlight, thus the utilization efficiency of incident energy from Sun can not be maximized causing the problem of low power generation amount.
Although such types of multi-axial Sun chase mechanisms usually increases the daily power generation amount of the solar pan

Embodiment Construction

[0016]FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating a state of a device in use according to an embodiment of the present invention. According to an embodiment of the present invention, the method for driving the device quasi-uniaxially to position the solar panels to face the sun may be described as follows.

[0017]First, a supporting unit 1 is provided, wherein the supporting unit 1 comprises a base 11, a movable stand 12 and two holders 13, a frame body 2 installed between the two holders 13. The frame body 2 is movably installed with a solar panel 3 configured with the horizontal axle 31, and a control mechanism 4 comprising a setting unit and enable units 42 and 43 is disposed on one of the holder 13. The enable units 42 and 43 are connected to the frame body 2 and the horizontal axle 31 and adjusted to a preset angle θ by means of an adjusting knob 14 according to the longitude / latitude of the location of the device. Meanwhile, an electric power unit 5 (e.g. indoor power, batteries or electri...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a control method and device for quasi-uniaxial sun chase of solar panels. The present method uses uniaxial driving to perform real-time tracking of the zodiacal longitude position of solar “daily periodic change”, then abiding by seasonal “annual periodic change” to perform tracking fine tuning of less 0.25 degrees per day on celestial sphere declination. The present device includes a supporting unit with two corresponding holders on the end face, a frame body for solar panel installation configured between the said two holders, and a control mechanism including a setting unit as well as an enable unit connected to the frame body. Thereby, in addition to real-time correction to the corresponding position of the solar panel to Sun by setting the control mechanism to allow the solar panel to acquire higher incident solar energy. The present invention provides a simple device structure with lower operation power consumption.

Description

[0001]This application claims the priority benefit of the Taiwan application serial No. 097120945 filed on Jun. 5, 2008.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention generally relates to a control method and device for quasi-uniaxial sun chase of solar panels; and more particularly, to a control method for performing real-time correction to the corresponding position of the solar panel to face the sun to allow the solar panel to acquire higher incident solar energy, and a simple structure of a solar device and reduce operational power consumption.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]The solar panel in a conventional solar energy generating system is generally installed at a fixed angle, and as it does not acquire vertical incident Sunlight, thus the utilization efficiency of incident energy from Sun can not be maximized causing the problem of low power generation amount.[0006]Although several types of Sun chase mechanisms have been propose...
