Abstract

See full text

In an embodiment, a solar array has its surface area structurally broken up into multiple discreet components smaller in size than the entire solar array itself. Multiple paddle pair assemblies form and make up the surface area of the solar array. Two or more of the paddle structures form a paddle pair assembly per tilt axle of the two axis tracker mechanism. A set of solar receivers, each with its own secondary concentrator optic is aligned within and secured in place in each CPV module in a paddle structure. All of the photovoltaic cells on the two axis tracker mechanism are electrically connected to form the voltage output from the solar array.
