  • Tracking device for a photovoltaic system and method for establishing such a tracking device
  • the invention relates to a tracking device for a photovoltaic system with the features of the preamble of patent claim 1 and a method for establishing such a tracking device.
  • Such a tracking device can be taken from EP 1 710 651 B1.
  • the achievable energy output depends on the angle of incidence of the sun relative to the photovoltaic module, so that it is expedient to increase the energy yield to use facilities that track the photovoltaic modules of the system after the year or daytime changing sun position.
  • the vertical tracking should be mentioned, in which the photovoltaic module is tracked by a rotation of the module supporting support structure about an axis which is substantially vertical to the earth's surface, the sun's run.
  • a horizontal tracking is possible in such a way that the photovoltaic module is pivoted or inclined in a horizontal axis, so that ideally a right angle to the sun is guaranteed.
  • an elevation element called a cam ring or cam disk
  • a cam track with different height levels.
  • the different height levels are transmitted to the photovoltaic module via a coupling device embodied as articulated arm linkage in such a way that pivoting takes place about the horizontal axis.
  • the coupling device in this case comprises a coupling element which moves in operation along the curved or guideway of the elevation element.
  • the object of the invention is to further improve such a tracking device to be taken from EP 1 710 651 B1.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention by a tracking device with the features of claim 1 and by a method for establishing such a tracking device with the features of claim 15.
  • the tracking device is generally designed as a biaxial tracking device for both vertical and horizontal tracking.
  • the horizontal tracking takes place here via a mechanical positive coupling with the vertical tracking, without an additional drive or an additional control for horizontal tracking required and in particular also provided.
  • the tracking device comprises for each photovoltaic module a support frame which has a vertical tracking device and a mechanically positively coupled with this horizontal tracking device.
  • the vertical tracking device in this case comprises a preferably designed as a support mast support structure which is rotatably mounted about a substantially vertical axis. In operation, the vertical tracking is carried out with the aid of a particular electric motor drive whose adjusting movement is transmitted to the supporting structure.
  • the horizontal tracking device comprises in particular a Elevation element that defines a mechanical guideway with different height levels. In operation, the height levels defined by the guideway are transmitted to the photovoltaic module by means of a mechanical coupling device upon rotational movement of the support structure about the vertical axis to produce a pivotal movement about the horizontal axis.
  • the coupling device in this case comprises a preferably designed as a fork element coupling element which moves in operation along the mechanical guideway.
  • the mechanical coupling device is preferably non-rotatably connected to the supporting structure so that the mechanical coupling device moves along the guideway during a rotational movement about the vertical axis.
  • the elevation element is preferably non-rotatably connected to an anchoring element, via which the support frame is fastened on the bottom side to the intended mounting surface for the photovoltaic system.
  • the anchoring element is for example a ground anchor, wherein each support frame is assigned a separate ground anchor.
  • the anchoring element may also be a support profile construction, which is provided, for example, in (flat) roof installations.
  • the guideway is circular in a plan around the support pole running around and has elevations and reductions to define the different height levels. In a developed state of the guideway, this therefore runs undulating, for example sinusoidal.
  • the guideway is formed by the already mentioned cam ring. Curved ring is understood here to mean a rod shaped into a ring, which runs along a predetermined curve.
  • a different height level of the guideway is generally transmitted to the photovoltaic module as a function of the rotational or azimuth angle, and thus, in a different way, Depending on the azimuth angle, a defined horizontal angle of inclination of the photovoltaic module is forcibly adjusted.
  • the support frame has at least one adjusting device, via which the rotational orientation of the elevation element with respect to the anchoring element and / or the rotational orientation of different subregions of the support mast are mutually adjustable.
  • These adjusting devices are used to simplify the assembly or for easy readjustment in the course of operation.
  • the configuration of these adjusting devices is based on the recognition that due to the mechanical positive coupling between the vertical and horizontal tracking devices an exact alignment of the support frame in a desired orientation is required.
  • the vertical tracking is done via a common drive motor, as provided for example in the tracking device according to EP 1 710 651 B1, there is the problem that due to tolerances and play in the drive train the individual photovoltaic modules occupy a different azimuth angle, ie a different angle of rotation about the vertical axis.
  • the advantage is achieved that after commissioning of the system, if due to such play and tolerance effects, the vertical orientation between different support racks is not completely synchronous, the vertical Wheelsteliung individual Traggesteüe in is easily adjustable without the support frame must be rotated in total with respect to the anchoring element.
  • the adjusting device for rotational positioning for the elevation element The defined by this guideway with the different height levels must be aligned exactly with respect to the cardinal directions, so that the highest point of the guideway shows exactly south.
  • the elevation element is each firmly connected to the anchoring element, for example by welding, etc., so that it depends on a highly accurate orientation of the anchoring element. This is sometimes difficult, especially in a photovoltaic system with a plurality of individual support frames.

Preferably, they are used in combination, so that a double adjustment possibility is given.

  • the spring element thus counteracts the considerable mass forces of the photovoltaic modules, which would otherwise produce high frictional forces in the absence of a spring element.
  • the energy required for the biaxial tracking by the inventively provided spring element can be significantly reduced again, so that a larger number of tracking devices can be driven with a single drive.
  • the spring element is preferably arranged such that it exerts on the coupling element a torque which counteracts the torque generated by the photovoltaic module. In this way, the possibly considerable torque that is generated by the photovoltaic module, by means of the spring element is at least partially compensated, so that the forces acting on the cam ring forces are also reduced.
  • the low friction between the cam ring and the fork element leads to a reduced need for Antriebse ⁇ ergie.
  • the coupling element has at least one rotatably mounted sleeve, with which the coupling element is supported on the guideway of the elevation element.
  • the rotatably mounted sleeves roll on the cam ring, so that the tracking requires only a small amount of energy.

  • a protective sleeve is attached to the support pole in the region of the spring element. Due to the sometimes considerable forces and their variation, there is a risk that the support pole is damaged by the support of the spring element, so that, for example, a protective coating is removed. This is prevented by the protective sleeve, which consists for example of a suitable abrasion-resistant plastic or of a suitable metal.
  • the entire support frame is preferably made of metal, which must be weather-resistant due to the required outdoor installation.
  • galvanized metal structures are used. Due to the rotational movement of the individual parts to each other this can lead to undesirable signs of wear but also sluggishness. The latter are in particular also due to the surface roughness generated during the galvanizing process.
