  • Patent number: 11996801
    Abstract: A plurality of posts and actuator posts connected to a foundation and to a torque tube on which solar panels are duly mounted is disclosed. The actuator posts include a hinge next to a radial arm that is disposed solidly connected to the torque tube, the arm being hinged at the other end to a linear actuator with screw drive, the bottom end is connected to the actuator post by a joint. Each linear actuator is actuated by a gear that engages with an endless screw solidly connected to a Cardan-type drive shared by all the actuators and is actuated by an electric motor, the Cardan-type drive fitting closely to the torque tube by supports.

  • Publication number: 20220216822
    Abstract: An anti-torsion device of a solar tracker with a rotation axis, and solar tracker comprising the anti-torsion device, the device having a coupling part fixedly attached rotationally with respect to the rotation axis of the solar tracker; an extension element arranged mechanically and fixedly attached to the coupling part, further extending radially and externally with respect to the coupling part; and, an actuator and a counter-actuator arranged in a locked position, where they are in contact with the extension element, and a released position, where they are separated with respect to the extension element, when the anti-torsion device is fixedly arranged with respect to the rotation axis and in accordance with the locked position, the extension element is rotationally immobilized so that the rotation of the coupling part is further prevented.
