  • Solar panel tilt mechanism
    Patent number: 6848442
    Abstract: A tilt mechanism associated with a solar panel assembly whereby effort required to tilt panel assemblies comprising the solar panel assembly is reduced or minimized by appropriate placement of first and second tilt axes with respect to the center of mass and/or center of pressure of the panel assemblies due to wind. These arrays are suitable for use on mobile or static installations. The tilt mechanism is suited for harnessing wind energy if the panels are suitably shaped.

  • Solar panel tilt mechanism
    Publication number: 20030172922
    Abstract: A tilt mechanism (11, 11A) associated with a solar panel assembly (10, 10A) whereby effort required to tilt panel assemblies (12, 13, 14) comprising the solar panel assembly (10, 10A) is reduced or minimized by appropriate placement of first and second tilt axes (18, 18A) with respect to the centre of mass and/or centre of pressure of the panel assemblies (12, 13, 14) due to wind. These arrays are suitable for use on mobile or static installations. The tilt mechanism is suited for harnessing wind energy if the panels are suitably shaped.
