Claim:
A solar power station comprising: a solar panel assembly having a substantially planar solar panel having longitudinal and lateral axes; and a plurality of towers, each of the towers being individually extendable from a bottom position to an extended position, each of the towers having an upper end and a main bearing structure pivotally mounting the solar panel assembly to the tower upper end, the main bearing structure of at least one of the towers comprising: a main slide bearing box mounted to the tower upper end, the main slide bearing box having longitudinal and lateral axes; a main support shaft extending longitudinally through the main slide bearing box, the main support shaft having oppositely disposed first and second end portions and being longitudinally and rotationally movable relative to the main slide bearing box; and first and second support boxes mounted on the main support shaft first and second end portions, respectively, and to the solar panel assembly; wherein selectively moving one or more of the towers rotates the solar panel about one or both of the axes whereby the solar panel is maintained at an optimal orientation for collecting solar power.
