Abstract

A solar energy transfer spoiler assembly (1), comprised of a base for supporting the remaining elements (2) of the assembly, an azimuth and elevation drive mechanism (3), a moving structure frame (4), a plurality of energy collecting elements (5), a first spoiler (6) and a second spoiler (7). The first end of the base is fixedly secured to the ground (8), and the second end is attached to the azimuth and elevation drive mechanism (3). The drive mechanism (3) is comprised of an azimuth drive motor and gearing (9), and the elevation drive motor and gearing (10). The moving structure is translatably attached to the azimuth and elevation gears for free gimboling movement by the drive mechanism. The moving structure is a rectangular shaped frame having disposed thereon a plurality of energy collecting elements (5). Attached to the leading edge (11) of the moving structure frame (4) is the first spoiler (6) or pair of spoilers if the frame (4) is of the split unit design. The leading spoiler (6) is attached across each leading edge (11) of the moving structure frame (4) such that center of the plane upon which the solar collecting elements (5) are mounted substantially bisects the midpoint of the widthwise dimension of the first spoiler (6). Attached to the trailing edge (12) of the frame (4) or to each unit of the moving structure frame (4) if split units are used, is the second spoiler (7). In the preferred embodiment, the second pair of spoilers are mounted such that the center of the plane upon which the solar collecting elements (5) are mounted also substantially bisects the midpoint of the widthwise dimension of said second pair of spoilers (7).
