SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF COLLECTING SOLAR ENERGY INCLUDING CONFIGURATION AND/OR TRACKING FEATURES

摘要

Systems and methods of collecting solar energy are disclosed. In one exemplary implementation, there is provided a method of collecting solar energy. Moreover, the method may include collecting solar energy with an optical collector panel that comprises an array of optics that redirects solar energy towards one or more receivers/collectors, rotating the panel around a first axis to a first angular position(s) to maintain exposure of the array/optics to a radiation source, and rotating rows of the optics around a plurality of second axes to a second angular position to maintain exposure to the radiation source.
