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 16):
The distributed torque, single axis solar tracking system as claimed in  claim 14  wherein the locking device includes a bifurcated base with parallel arms rotatably mounting the torque structure, a pair of offset lock plates positioned between the parallel arms and attached to the torque structure for rotation therewith, each of the lock plates having a series of holes formed in a distal or opposing end, the series of holes in one lock plate being offset from the series of holes in the other lock plate, and electrically activated solenoids positioned on opposite sides of the base, the solenoids having pins positioned to engage one of the holes in one of the series of holes when one of the solenoids is activated to lock the structure in place.
