  • Patent number: 12088238
    Abstract: A solar panel tracker system is highly reliable and facilitates installation particularly on terrains that are uneven or sloped. The system includes a frame having legs that are coupled to and support a base for a bushing housing assembly that is designed to rotate one or more photovoltaic (PV) solar power panels. Each of the legs is connected to a telescoping support structure that can be adjusted in a vertical direction to accommodate a desired height above sloping terrain. Each of the legs is connected to its respective telescoping support structure with a coupler passing through a slotted bracket thereby allowing adjustment of the leg in a horizontal direction during installation. In addition, the bushing housing base may be coupled to the frame with one or more U-bolts thereby allowing the bushing housing base and thus the bushing housing assembly to rotate during installation.

The drive assembly and power system can also be retrofitted to existing awnings.
