Abstract:
A distributed torque, single axis solar tracking system includes a plurality of spaced apart mounting posts with selected posts having an electrically controlled actuator mounted thereon. A torque structure extends between the actuators to distribute rotational torque on the torque structure. A plurality of solar panels is connected to the torque structure. Electrical apparatus is coupled to each actuator and designed to be coupled to a power source so that when the electrical apparatus is coupled to the power source, the plurality of actuators is energized to rotate simultaneously a desired amount. Whereby the plurality of solar panels is rotated the desired amount as the plurality of actuators rotates.

Claim (Index 19):
A distributed torque, single axis solar tracking system comprising:\n a plurality of spaced apart mounting or support posts; a plurality of electrically controlled actuators, one each of the plurality of electrically controlled actuators mounted on selected posts of the plurality of posts with intermediate posts between selected posts; a torque structure extending between the plurality of actuators to distribute rotational torque on the torque tube structure, the plurality of electrically controlled actuators being spaced along the torque tube structure; at least one of a damper device, a locking device, or a bearing member mounted on the intermediate posts between the selected posts; a plurality of solar panels connected to the torque structure; and electrical apparatus coupled to each actuator of the plurality of actuators and designed to be coupled to a power source, the electrical apparatus, when coupled to the power source, energizing the plurality of actuators to rotate simultaneously a desired amount, whereby the plurality of solar panels is rotated the desired amount as the plurality of actuators rotates.
