Abstract

The solar tracking stand adjusts its pose timely to have the solar panel properly face to the moving sun. A 3-PRS parallel manipulator is designed that provides high stiffness and easy maintenance. The reconfiguration of the 3-PRS parallel stand allows further optimization of workspace and stiffness with respect to seasons. The research discusses an optimized design for green energy collection.
