Abstract
The present disclosure relates to the field of solar tracking systems. In particular, the present disclosure relates to an arrangement for angularly displacing solar panels. In accordance with the present disclosure, the arrangement angularly displaces and tracks plurality of solar panels together. Furthermore, the arrangement envisaged in the present disclosure is not complex and expensive and also requires less power during operation and less maintenance. The primary application of the arrangement envisaged in the present disclosure is in solar tracking systems.
Claims9
An arrangement (100) for angularly displacing at least one solar panel (105), said arrangement (100) comprising:
- a first support column (145) extending upwards from the ground;
- a second support column (115) rotatably mounted on an operative top end of said first support column (145);
- said at least one solar panel (105) mounted on said second support column (115);
- a lever arm (125) extending from said second column;
- and
- a linear actuator (140) supported on said first column (145), said linear actuator (140) connected to a free end of said lever arm (125), wherein the extension and retraction of said linear actuator (140) angularly displaces said lever arm, thereby causing angular displacement of said second support column (115) and said at least one solar panel (105) mounted on said second column.
