Abstract
The scope of this project was to design a mechanical solar tracker that implemented the algorithm/patent developed by Dr. Nicholas Flann. The solar tracker needed to be able to gang with other units using a single motor. The designed tracking unit is intended to:
• Rotate 350 degrees
• Use 3 seasonal tracks to follow the sun
• Be adjustable for wind and snow loads
• Be constructed from readily available materials
