Patent ID: 8490619

Claim:
A solar energy alignment and concentration system comprising: at least two solar energy receivers having a centroid, each of the at least two solar energy receivers being configured and disposed to receive a concentrated solar energy input and generate an energy output based on received light energy; an actuation system operatively coupled to the at least two solar energy receivers, the actuation system being configured and disposed to shift the at least two solar energy receivers along at least one axis; a control system operatively linked to the at least two solar energy receivers and the actuation system, the control system sensing the energy output of each of the at least two solar energy receivers and shifting the actuation system along the at least one axis causing solar energy to be directed at the centroid wherein, when the solar energy is directed at the centroid, the energy output of each of the at least two solar energy receivers is substantially identical to enhance energy production of the solar energy and concentration system; and an energy storage system operatively coupled to the at least two solar energy receivers, the energy storage system receiving and storing the energy output from each of the at least two solar energy receivers.
