Abstract:
A drive can include a positional sensor within an outer housing of the drive so as to provide an output indicative of a position of the drive. The positional sensor can be an inclinometer. The inclinometer can be used for feedback control of an inclination of the drive. The drive can further include control electronics within the same housing, so as to provide feedback control of a motor of the drive. The control electronics can include an input for receiving a requested inclination and can be configured to drive the motor until the inclinometer outputs a signal indicative of the requested angle.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus for a solar energy collection system, the apparatus comprising:\n a housing configured to be attached to a structure that pivots relative to the Earth about a pivot axis, the housing comprising\n an inclination sensor disposed inside the housing such that the inclination sensor pivots with the housing about the pivot axis, the inclination sensor configured to detect an inclination of at least one solar energy collection device and output a signal indicative of inclination detected by the inclination sensor; and \n processing circuitry in electrical communication with the inclination sensor and a motor and configured to control the motor to cause the at least one solar energy collection device to pivot about the pivot axis to provide a desired inclination of the at least one solar energy collection device.
