  • Publication number: 20130333689
    Abstract: There is disclosed a dual axis tracking system (200) comprising a support structure (300) for supporting at least one solar device (1); a movable carriage frame (353) pivotally coupled to the support structure (300); at least one carrier arm (351) pivotally coupled to the support structure (300) and to the movable carriage frame (353). Each carrier arm (351) is adapted to hold or support a plurality of carrier arms (351) and other solar devices such as reflecting means or the likes. A motion assembly (352) pivotally coupled to the carriage frame (353) for providing movements to the carriage frame (353) and the carrier arm (351); wherein the motion assembly (352) comprises at least one telescopic member (352a) and a track assembly (352b). The orientations or movements of the solar devices (1) are generally in response to the motions provided by the motion assembly (352) in cooperation with the carriage frame (353) and the carrier arm (351).
