- Analytical synthesis for four–bar mechanisms used in a pseudo–equatorial solar tracker J. M. González Mendoza C. Palacios Montúfar J. A. Flores Campos Ingeniería four synthesis solar tracker bar mechanisms Transmission angle Photovoltaic energy production systems generate electricity without emitting pollutants into the atmosphere and do so from a free, unlimited resource. The highest level of energy conversion from the photovoltaic panels can be obtained by placing them perpen- dicular to the sun’s rays falling on their surface; this is done by installing solar tracking systems. This work proposes the use of two four- bar mechanisms as the driving force for a solar tracker; we propose the use of analytical synthesis for such mechanisms. This procedure is aimed at optimising the transmission angle, increasing mechanical advantage and decreasing driving torque. A mathematical model was used to prove synthesis results and a prototype of the solar tracker was built. 2013 artículo científico 0120-5609 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=64330695010 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=643 Ingeniería e Investigación application/pdf Universidad Nacional de Colombia Ingeniería e Investigación (Colombia) Num.3 Vol.33
