Patent attributes
A solar tracker is provided to fix an altitude angle until the altitude of the sun secedes from a predetermined range after matching the altitude through once driving of one shaft that tracks the altitude angle and to drive only the other shaft that tracks an east-west azimuth angle in daily repetition in a state where the altitude angle of the sun, which is repeatedly changed according to seasons of the year in the range of the winter solstice having the lowest altitude angle and the summer solstice having the highest altitude angle, has an extremely small diurnal change, whereas the azimuth angle of the sun is repeatedly changed in one direction, that is, from sunup to sundown, in a day. Accordingly, consumption of firm power of a driving unit for tracking the sun can be minimized, and the operating and management costs of the device can be reduced.
