SOLAR POWER STATION Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC H01L31/42 F24J2/54 

FIELD: solar power stations for radiant solar energy to electric power conversion.

SUBSTANCE: proposed solar power station has vertical shaft with its drive whose top end mounts horizontal shaft provided with symmetrical eccentric dogs on its ends contacting sinusoidal slot of rigidly fixed horizontal ring. Rigidly fixed on horizontal shaft is solar photocell battery with automatic-control system for its rotation in azimuth. When vertical shaft is rotating in azimuth, horizontal-shaft dogs engage horizontal-ring sinusoidal slot and turn through 45 deg. while moving through slot in morning, noon, and evening direction, respectively, thereby making it possible for photocell battery to afford zenithal tracking of sun.

EFFECT: enhanced reliability, simplified circuit arrangement of automatic-control system and electric drives.
