Abstract
A solar energy power source is provided comprising at least two flat photovoltaic panels disposed in co-planar side-by-side relation and an improved support structure for supporting the panels for pivotal movement on a pivot axis that extends transversely of the panels, the improved structure including a single selectively operable drive means for pivoting all of the panels simultaneously and by the same amount of angular displacement.
