Description

The support structure for tracking solar collectors is used to support solar collectors to obtain energy from solar radiation.
FIG. 1 is a front, top, right side isometric view of a support structure for tracking solar collectors with the outline of solar collectors and base supports shown in broken lines;
FIG. 2 is a top plan view thereof;
FIG. 3 is a right side elevational view thereof, the left side elevational view being a mirror image;
FIG. 4 is a front elevational view thereof; and,
FIG. 5 is a rear elevational view thereof.
The broken lines in the drawings show environmental structure that forms no part of the claimed design.

Claims (1)
