Abstract
An apparatus for orientation of solar radiation collectors includes one or more solar cells fixed to a rotary axle of the apparatus and connected directly to an electromotor joined with a rotary axle. The solar cell is arranged on the rotary axle in such a way that a plane of the solar cell is inclined by an angle of about 0.1-45 degrees from a plane perpendicular to the collectors of solar energy and parallel with the rotary axle apparatus in a direction opposite to the direction of sun movement. The solar cell is connected to the electromotor for orientation of the rotary axle and an associated orientation of the radiation collectors as long as the power of the solar cell is higher than the power necessary for orientation of the rotary axle.
Claims12
An apparatus for orientation of solar radiation collectors comprising:
- at least one solar radiation collector fixed to a rotary axle of the apparatus;
- at least one solar cell fixed to the rotary axle of the apparatus for conversion of solar energy to electrical energy, the solar cell oriented in such a way that a plane of the solar cell is inclined by about 0.1-45 degrees from a plane perpendicular to the at least one solar radiation collector and parallel with the rotary axle of the apparatus, in a direction opposite to a direction of sun movement;
- and
- an electromotor connected to the solar cell and the rotary axle for orientation of the rotary axle of the apparatus as long as a power of the cell is higher than a power necessary for orientation of the rotary axle of the apparatus.
A method for orienting a solar radiation collector comprising:
- providing a first solar cell fixed to a rotary axle of a solar radiation collecting apparatus;
- orienting the first solar cell in a plane which is inclined by about 0.1-45 degrees from a plane perpendicular to a solar radiation collector and parallel to the rotary axle in a direction opposite to a direction of sun movement;
- and
- orienting the solar radiation collector by powering an electromotor connected to the rotary axle with the first solar cell.
