摘要 |
The invention relates to a mechanical solar tracker forming a system for tracking the position of the sun in relation to the earth, which is used to orient thermal and photovoltaic solar energy capture and conversion systems based on electromagnetic radiation dispersed or concentrated in any of the varieties thereof in order to produce good perpendicularity in dispersed capture systems and perfect focusing in concentration systems, in relation to the sun. The invention is characterised in that it is essentially an astronomical clock, having a construction that is practically mechanical and permanent over time, faithfully tracking the movements of the earth in relation to the sun during the operating years thereof. The invention is suitable for use in the industry involved in the conversion of clean renewable energy into energy for general use, i.e. electrical energy, thermal energy and chemical fuels such as hydrogen |
