A reflective solar tracker system for collecting solar energy from the sun and converting the solar energy to electricity, using one or more photovoltaic devices, each of which has a sunlight-collecting surface, including a horizontal reflector panel retaining assembly, wherein the horizontal reflector panel retaining assembly further comprises a horizontal reflector panel such that the horizontal reflector panel includes a non-uniform, textured finish located on a sun-facing surface area of the horizontal reflector panel, a reflective solar tracker retaining/rotating assembly operatively connected to the horizontal reflector panel retaining assembly, and a reflective solar tracker array retaining assembly operatively connected to the horizontal reflector panel retaining assembly and the reflective solar tracker retaining/rotating assembly.

Pivoting members for pivoting a solar array mounted to a torque rail and tracking systems that include such pivoting members are disclosed. The pivoting member may include a liner between a rotating inner member and the outer housing of the pivoting member to reduce friction during pivoting of the solar array.

A solar tracker system comprising a plurality of on sun trackers and a plurality of off sun tracker. Each tracker is selectively adjusted to achieve a desired power output of the solar power plant system in an example.

Disclosed is a solar power station, comprising a first light-receiving device having a substantially planar first working surface, a second light-receiving device having a second working surface substantially perpendicular to the first working surface, and a first drive mechanism. The first and second working surfaces are configured so that sunlight (SS) strikes the first working surface after passing through the second working surface or passes through the first working surface and then strikes the second working surface. The second light-receiving device is fixed on the first drive mechanism. The first drive mechanism is used to drive the second working surface to move or rotate relative to the first working surface according to the movement of the sun.

A solar tracking system comprising a platform, a system housing, at least one solar panel, at least one motor, and a cable. The at least one solar panel is attached to the platform and configured to generate electricity from photons. The platform further comprises a sensor device configured to gather information relating to light and temperature. The at least one motor connects to the platform by the cable and is configured to rotate the platform. The at least one motor may also be connected to an actuator on the at least one solar panel and may be configured to adjust the tilt of the at least one solar panel. The system housing comprises a processor communicatively connected to the sensor device and the at least one motor. The processor is configured to activate the at least one motor based on information gathered by the sensor device.

Azimuthal rotation mechanism for solar trackers having a vertical pedestal (1) on which a rotating support (2) holding the solar panels (7) is mounted, which is actuated by at least three hydraulic cylinders (4, 5 and 6) located in the same horizontal plane and articulated through the casing to the rotating support (2) by a first movable vertical shaft (18), while the piston rods of the three cylinders pass through the wall of the rotating support and are articulated at the same height to the pedestal by a second fixed vertical rotation shaft (21).
