Title:
SOLAR TRACKING SYSTEM FOR A SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC POWER PLANT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/222204
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Solar trackers (100) and methods for assembling same are described herein. A pair of ballast blocks (108), simultaneously using a slip-form paver having a cut-off blade (510), by positioning the paver at a start point of the pair of ballast blocks (108). The cut-off blade (510) is oriented in a closed position, halting flow of concrete. The slip-form paver is advanced to an end point of the pair of ballast blocks (108). While advancing the slip-form paver, the cut-off blade (510) is simultaneously moved to an open position. The open position permits flow of the concrete through a mold (400) depositing onto a solar tracker location. After reaching the end point, the cut-off blade (510) is moved to the closed position. Grooves (112) oriented lengthwise are formed in each ballast block (108). A leg (104) structure of the solar tracker (100) is secured into the grooves (112).
