A modular shade system (60) includes torque tubes (72), a series of solar tracking panels (64) mounted to the torque tubes to create spaced-apart rows (62) of panels, at least some of the panels being solar collector panels. A shade structure (66) is positioned at a selected location above the support surface so to provide an enhanced shaded region (92) thereunder. A support structure includes a first mounting assembly (68, 70) mounting each torque tube above the support surface for rotation about the torque tube axis and a second mounting assembly (88, 90; 96, 72, 68, 70) supporting the shade structure at the selected location. A tilting assembly (76) selectively rotates each torque tube about its axis. Another aspect of the invention is directed to a modular shade system (10) comprising a support structure (12) defining a shading area (31). |
