  • Solar tracker system including a frame assembly
    Patent number: 11936334
    Abstract: Solar tracker systems include an array of solar panels, a drive for rotating the array about a longitudinal axis, and a mounting assembly including a plurality of posts and a pivotable frame assembly supporting the array of solar panels on the posts. The frame assembly includes a first frame tube connected to the drive and extending therefrom in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis and a second frame tube laterally offset from the first frame tube and extending parallel to the first frame tube. The first frame tube and second frame tube are sized to support at least one solar panel of the array of solar panels thereon. The frame assembly further includes a lateral beam attached to the first frame tube and the second frame tube.

  • SOLAR TRACKER SYSTEMS AND METHODS INCLUDING A RAIL ASSEMBLY
    Publication number: 20230361715
    Abstract: Solar tracker systems include a rotatable tube defining a longitudinal axis and a rail mounted on the rotatable tube. The rail extends transversely outward of the tube between first and second opposed ends. The solar tracker system further includes a photovoltaic panel assembly attached to the rail and a rail connector securing the rail to the rotatable tube. The rail connector includes at least one clip attached to the rail and a lock bracket defining a notch receiving the clip therein such that the clip applies tension on the lock bracket.
