A SOLAR TRACKER WITH REINFORCED CONCRETE BASE

摘要

The base (10), responsible for supporting the cup of the solar tracker (1), comprises a number of steel tension cables (12), which are either for prestressing or post-tensioning and are embedded into the concrete along the entire length thereof. The base (10) is partially embedded into the ground (21), serving as foundations. The base may have a number of longitudinal grooves (19) or a number of side wings (3) in the portion embedded into the ground (21), so as to transmit the torsional loads to the ground. The base is made as just one single piece, it being possible for it to be solid or hollow and cylindrical or prismatic in shape.
