Abstract

sistema coletor solar, e, método. um sistema coletor solar é provido, incluindo um conjunto de apoio compreendendo uma pluralidade de rodas ou roletes para engatar de forma rolante um elemento de suporte de grande diâmetro. a rotação do elemento de suporte de grande diâmetro suporta o rastreamento da posição do sol em relação ao sistema coletor solar. o conjunto de apoio pode ser pré-montado no elemento de suporte de grande diânetro antes do sistema coletor solar deixar a fábrica, facilitando assim a montagem do sistema coletor solar no campo, mesmo sob condições adversas.solar collector system and method. a solar collector system is provided including a support assembly comprising a plurality of wheels or rollers for rolling engagement with a large diameter support member. The rotation of the large diameter support element supports tracking of the sun's position relative to the solar collector system. The support assembly can be pre-assembled to the large diameter support element before the solar collector system leaves the factory, thus facilitating the mounting of the solar collector system in the field, even under adverse conditions.
