Abstract
A solar array row includes a first panel section including a first frame tube and a first photovoltaic panel connected to the first torque tube and a second panel section including a second frame tube and a second photovoltaic panel connected to the second torque tube. The row further includes a drive engaged with the first frame tube and a cabling system including a cable connecting the first panel section to the second panel section. The cable translates rotational force on the first frame tube to the second frame tube such that, when the drive is actuated, the first frame tube rotates about a first rotational axis and the second frame tube rotates about a second rotational axis offset from the first rotational axis.
