Solar tracking mounting system with adjustable mounting points
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11955924B2) describes a solar tracking mounting system designed to optimize the efficiency of solar panels by tracking the direction of a light source. The system includes an anchor assembly with adjustable mounting points, a chord assembly that can pivotably tilt, a kicker connecting the chord assembly to the anchor assembly, a vertical actuator powered by a motor to adjust the tilt angle, and a driveshaft connected to the motor and vertical actuator. Additional features include module rails for mounting solar panels, purlin hooks for secure attachment, and an insertion rail for stability at the center span of the chord assembly.
Furthermore, the system incorporates a guide rail for lifting the chord assembly, a controller for tracking schedules, and a torsionally stable driveshaft for efficient operation. The design allows for precise alignment of the solar panels in vertical, horizontal, and polar axes, reducing shading and energy loss. The system’s innovative use of a rack and pinion linear actuator or a jack screw lift assembly ensures smooth and accurate tracking of the light source. Overall, the patented solar tracking mounting system offers a comprehensive solution for maximizing the energy output of solar panels through intelligent design and functionality.
