Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a solar tracking mechanism (100) to facilitate tracking of the sun by movement of at least one frame (114), supporting at least one array of solar panels (150), about at least one frictionless hinge (10). The solar tracking mechanism (100) includes an actuator (104) which actuates the movement of at least one elongated rod (110) to cause movement of the frame (114) via at least one link arrangement (112). The solar tracking mechanism (100) is supported on a plurality of support columns (106).
