The solar panels can be covered with a special glass with a structure having a configuration of the Abbe prism, which ensures a constant deviation of light by 90 degrees.
More specifically, Abbe's prisms will be packed into a configuration of multifaceted pyramids – approximately.
Abbe's prisms do not heat or burn solar panels, unlike magnifying lenses that they wanted to use several years ago.
If the Abbe prisms will be too expensive, the orientation of the solar panels can be realized with a new system that is 2 times more ergonomic than the existing ones.
Based on materials available on the Internet, the designs of solar trackers have two motors. One motor rotates the axis, the other motor adjusts the tilt of the panel.
In the presented design, both functions are performed by one motor through two mechanical gearboxes. The action of the gearboxes is controlled by the same sensors used in the case of the two motors, but the control circuit is changed.
Gearboxes can work both simultaneously and separately. But with simultaneous operation requires a complex gear mechanism. So it is more preferable to work separately.
This general principle - two movements by one motor - can have different technical solutions. For example, reducers can be not only mechanical, but also hydraulic.
