Abstract
A solar table mobile transport is described that moves a solar table to a point of installation. The solar table mobile transport comprises multiple motors that allow movement within a three-dimensional coordinate system as well as provide angular controls of pitch, yaw and roll. These motors enable at least one alignment process used to install the solar table to a mounting structure within a solar system.
Claims7
A solar table mobile transport (hereinafter, “mobile transport”) for moving a solar table, the mobile transport comprising:
- a transport component having a vehicular segment and a driving system, the transport component being operable to move the solar table from a first location to a point of installation under control of the driving system;
- and
- an attachment component coupled to the transport component, the attachment component comprising at least one attaching element that securely attaches to the solar table and at least one motor that support at least one alignment process implemented during an installation of the solar table to at least one mounting structure;
- wherein the at least one attaching element comprises a plurality of end effectors that couple to at least one of a torque tube, a purlin and/or a beam within the solar table with independent motion control;
- and
- wherein the attachment component extends vertically above the transport component and at a forward angle such that the at least one attaching element is located in front of the transport component.
