Abstract
The disclosure relates to a guide system for holding and moving sunlight-absorbing devices, in particular, solar panels or concentrated photovoltaic modules, about an azimuth axis and an elevation axis, comprising a housing, at least one azimuth drive, at least one azimuth gear unit, the azimuth drive being configured for driving the azimuth gear unit for a rotational movement about the azimuth axis, at least one elevation drive, at least one elevation gear unit, the elevation drive being configured for driving the elevation gear unit for a rotational movement about the elevation axis, and wherein the elevation gear unit is connected to a first end of a torsion tube, and the torsion tube is turnably mounted inside the housing along the elevation axis, wherein the torsion tube is supported by at least two bearings, preferably one at each end of the torsion tube, and wherein the second end of the torsion tube is configured to receive and connect to a support arm for carrying/supporting one or more of the sunlight-absorbing devices, and the torsion tube further being configured to transmit torque from the elevation gear unit to the support arm.
