Abstract

Energy collection systems, such as solar, wind turbine, and hydro power generation systems, are useful for many applications. An embodiment of a dam according to an embodiment of the present invention includes precast segments configured to be coupled together to form a dam optionally used to generate energy. Another embodiment of the present invention includes a multi-tower assembly, such as a dual tower assembly, that supports a solar panel assembly having a lower height-to- width ratio of the solar panel assembly than may be supported by a single tower design and includes a mount configured to rotate upon which the dual tower assembly is supported. Still other embodiments of the present invention provide for mobile transport of power generation systems, such as a solar power energy collection system, that can be transported via a mobile system, such as a truck, trailer, or railway transport system, and positioned anywhere the mobile transport system can travel to provide temporary or permanent energy producing capacity.
