Claim 4:
5. A driveline joint, comprising:
a driveline shaft including one or more slots, the driveline shaft configured to be operatively coupled to one or more photovoltaic (PV) modules;
a shaft coupling configured to be operatively positioned within an interior of the driveline shaft, the shaft coupling including one or more openings, each of the one or more openings corresponding to a slot of the one or more slots, wherein the shaft coupling includes a keyed opening facilitating attachment an output shaft via a corresponding keyed feature of the output shaft; and
one or more fasteners, wherein each of the one or more fasteners extends through one of the one or more slots and through one of the one or more openings so as to operatively engage a bearing surface of a bearing against the exterior surface of the shaft coupling, the bearing surface compensating for a degree of angular misalignment between the driveline shaft and the shaft coupling.
