Abstract
The present disclosure is a lightweight, portable solar tracker assembly that has a bottom frame coupled to a rotation drive disc coupled to a rotational linear actuator and a middle frame rotatably coupled to the bottom frame via the rotation drive disc such that when activated, the middle frame rotates. The assembly further has a solar array mounting frame coupled to the middle frame and comprising a vertical linear actuator coupled to the middle frame such than when activated, the solar array mounting frame moves vertically, and when the middle frame rotates, the solar array mounting frame rotates and at least one solar cell fixedly coupled to the solar array mounting frame. In addition, the assembly has a processor configured to determine a position in a sky of a sun, actuate the vertical linear actuator and the rotational linear actuator so that the at least one solar cell is aligned with the sun.
