Solar tracking system for a solar panel

摘要

The present disclosure envisages a solar tracking system for a solar panel. The solar tracking system comprises a bearing, a torque tube and a linear actuator. The bearing is coupled to the solar panel by means of rails, typically, C-channel, hat section rails. The torque tube is connected to the solar panel, wherein the torque tube is configured to be angularly displaced within the bearing. The linear actuator is coupled to the torque tube, wherein the linear actuator is configured to angularly displace the torque tube, thereby displacing the solar panel. The linear actuator includes a worm and worm gear arrangement of a rack and pinion arrangement. The solar tracking system is powered by either an auxiliary solar panel and/or a battery.
