  • Tracking Unit For A Solar Collector
    Publication number: 20100252026
    Abstract: A tracking unit for solar collectors has at least two panels, which can each be pivoted about a longitudinal axis. The axes are arranged on a rotable frame on one plane. The position of each axis within the individual panels is offset by a offset ?x in relation to the adjacent panels. The individual panels are moved by means of a lifting mechanism that pivots each of the panels about the same angle. This arrangement significantly reduces mutual shading and increases efficiency by about 10%.
