Abstract:
In an example, the system has a mechanical isolator comprising an elastic material configured to separate the panel rail from the torque tube cause destructive interference with a natural resonant frequency of the system without the mechanical isolator to reduce a mechanical vibration of the system.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of operating a solar tracker system, comprising:\n providing the system comprising: a first pillar structure and a second pillar structure; a torque tube configured between the first pillar structure and the second pillar structure; a plurality of solar modules configured spatially along the torque tube from a first end to a second end; a panel rail configured to support each of the plurality of solar modules; a clamp device coupled to sandwich the torque tube between a lower portion of the clamp device and each panel rail; a mass damper structure comprising a mechanical isolator comprising an elastic material configured to separate the panel rail from the torque tube; and; causing destructive interference, using the mechanical isolator, with a natural resonant frequency of the system without the mechanical isolator to reduce a mechanical vibration of the system.
