Systems and methods for altering rotation of a solar rotational manufacturing system
A solar rotational manufacturing system having a monitoring device, a controller, a heliostat having a heliostat controller, a rotational apparatus having a rotational controller, and a mold, wherein the monitoring device is configured to collect actual data regarding a characteristic of the solar rotational heating system and transmit actual data to the controller, the controller is configured to receive a reference parameter, an affecting parameter, and linking instructions, receive actual data from the monitoring device, compare actual data with a reference parameter, determine an affecting parameter to alter, and transmit alteration instructions to the heliostat controller and/or the rotational controller, the heliostat controller is configured to receive the alteration instructions from the controller and execute the alteration instructions, and the rotational controller is configured to receive the alteration instructions from the controller and execute the alteration instructions.
Solar tracker assembly
The disclosure relates to a solar tracker assembly, particularly for solar collectors, with a table structure for supporting the solar collectors, particularly solar collector panels and/or solar collector assemblies, and with an assembly for carrying the table structure, wherein the table structure is rotatable relative to the assembly base at least about one axis of rotation. For allowing the table for supporting respective solar panels to have sufficiently large dimensions in order to accommodate an increased number of solar collectors in an easy way and, at the same time, to enable the table to be positioned at a precise angle with reduced effort, it is suggested that at least a portion of the table structure and/or a portion of the assembly base is formed as a truss structure.
HINGED REFELCTORS SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM
The present invention provides a super efficient solar system that is fixed with respect to the Earth in a standard latitude tilt position. The present invention discloses a method for designing and building a motorized means that allow the hinged reflectors to tilt by tracking the movement of the Sun. The rays of the Sun are reflected and concentrated directly onto the fixed solar cells by movable mirrors or reflectors. The solar energy system is composed of a tilted glass panel side-base which makes it possible for the reflectors to tilt. The multiple components within the solar energy system cooperate to continually concentrate the incoming solar radiation on the solar cells as the Sun runs its course across the sky.

Solar concentrator
A solar concentrator utilizes an arrangement of an outer reflective ring around a centrally located inner reflective cone to concentrate light. The reflective surface of the outer reflective ring is substantially 45 degrees from a transmitted light source. Light from the light source is reflected off of the outer reflective ring to produce a reflected light having a light reflective axis. The reflected light is directed toward the inner reflective cone and is reflected off of the reflective surface of the inner reflective cone as transmitted light toward alight receiver. The reflective surface of the inner reflective cone is configured at 45 degrees from the light reflective axis. The light receiver may convert the transmitted light into electricity or heat a fluid or other article. A solar tracker may be used to keep the central axis of the solar concentrator aligned with the sun.

Support for solar modules
A support for rotationally movable mounting of solar modules configures an outer shaft as a tube and mounts an inner shaft in it, by way of a calotte element in the end position, so that this element is accommodated in the outer shaft in longitudinally displaceable and tiltable manner, as well as in freely rotational manner, if necessary. In this way, only one roller block is required, even if two uncoupled connection shafts are to be mounted.
