Abstract

See full text

A dual axis motorized solar tracking device that can be rotated over 360° and wherein the solar array panel thereof can be tilted from 90° to 10° and wherein the motorized portions of said device is controlled by an internally contained computerized controlling system that is programmed to follow the path of the sun at the installed location thereof and also to adjust the system to allow for any problems in weather. The internally contained computerized controlling device is electrically actuated from a plethora of sources including a separate panel on the solar array dedicated to recharging an energy storage cell system that will power up the internally contained and computerized controlling system. Alternatively, other power sources external to the device may also be employed giving this system a unique ability to keep on running while charging the energy storage cell system under any circumstances. A lithium-ion battery can be used as the rechargeable battery system.
