  • Publication number: 20200373879
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a solar energy harvesting device, said device including several single-axis solar trackers (S1-S5), each comprising an elongated structure (4) on which a plurality of photovoltaic panels (2) are installed, and a tubular rotating shaft (1) fixed to a lower side of the structure (4). A plurality of support feet (20) rotatably support the coaxially aligned tubular rotating shafts (1) of the several single-axis solar trackers (S1-S5) on the ground. A motor rotates the tubular rotating shafts (1) according to the relative movements of the Sun. Positive and negative wires (3a, 3b) conducting electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic panels (2) connected in series of the different single-axis solar trackers (S1-S5) are housed inside the tubular rotating shafts (1) and go through a central opening (27a) of a rotating drive wheel (27) of a drive device (31) arranged to rotate the tubular rotating shafts (1).
