Abstract: A series of photovoltaic panels (PV) arranged on a planar, horizontal support platform so as to form a PV array that is pivotally connected to a PV array support structure that can pivotally raise, angle and support the PV array above agricultural fields at heights that allow the passage of large mechanized farm equipment to pass beneath. The PV array support structure pivotally raises its PV array into its operating elevation and positional range with a system of motorized pivot arms operationally positioned between its array columns and the members of the support frame. Once in place, these PV arrays may be horizontally moved by tilting or angling the array columns within a specified operating range (by computer positioning known as dynamic shifting). At the same time, the PV panels may all be optimally tilted for sun sharing and sun shading for both the generation of electricity and to increase the agricultural efficiency of the underlying land.

Abstract: A photovoltaic solar panel array support structure that has a negligible footprint and that may be adjustably sized in the future to accommodate an increase or decrease of the number of solar panel arrays. It is installed at a substantial elevation above ground level so as to allow unhampered, ongoing farming activities in the area directly below the solar panel array, including the use of large mechanized farm equipment. The photovoltaic solar panel array support structure utilizes a series of vertical pilings that support a pre-fabricated unitary segment platform upon which a solar panel system may be mounted and then lifted atop of the pilings as a single assembly. It is intended for erection and operation in locations where large-scale ground mounted solar panel arrays are not feasible.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for “double cropping”, with photovoltaic panel arrays mounted on and operating from specialized photovoltaic solar array support structures that are supported above agricultural fields at heights that allow the passage of large mechanized farm equipment to pass beneath. The arrays are optimized for sun sharing operation in that their solar panel design, spacing and computerized movement are optimized to both generate electricity and increase the agricultural efficiency of the underlying land.
