Abstract:
Under one aspect, a system is provided for rotating photovoltaic modules arranged in a row. The system can include an elongated structural member extending along and parallel to the row; protrusions coupled to the elongated structural member; an actuator; and drive mechanisms coupled to the photovoltaic modules. Actuation of the actuator can move the elongated structural member, the movement of the elongated structural member can move the protrusions, the movement of the protrusions can move the drive mechanisms, and the movement of the drive mechanisms can rotate the photovoltaic modules.

Claim (Index 16):
A system for rotating photovoltaic modules arranged in a row, the system comprising:\n purlins extending along and parallel to the row and coupled to the photovoltaic modules; first and second purlin arms positioned in a transverse direction to the purlins and coupled to each of the purlins; first and second drive mechanisms, each of the first and second drive mechanisms coupled to each of the purlins and one of the first or second purlin arms; a drive tube extending along and parallel to the row and coupled to gear teeth that engage with the drive mechanisms; an actuator; and wherein:\n actuation of the actuator rotates the drive tube; \n the rotation of the drive tube rotates the gear teeth; \n the rotation of the gear teeth rotates the first and second drive mechanisms; \n the rotation of the first and second drive mechanisms rotates the first and second purlin arms; and \n the rotation of the first and second purlin arms rotates the photovoltaic modules.
