ABSTRACT:
A solar panel control apparatus for varying the position of a solar panel mounted upon a roof comprising a solar panel support frame having a horizontal pivot rod mounted there beneath; a vertically receptacle collar having a clevis at its upper end rotatively receiving the pivot rod of the support frame and having a recess extending upwardly from its lower end with internal threads at its lower extent and a cylindrical cavity between the threads and the upper end; a rotatable shaft having a threaded upper end cooperatively secured with the threads of the collar and a handle whereby rotation of the shaft through the handle will act to raise and lower the collar and pivot with the support frame; a turret having a downwardly extending cavity having surfaces adapted to receive the collar; and a turret support plate with a upper face to support the turret, the turret plate having a wheel within the modular home to effect rotation of the plate and the turret whereby rotation of the handle will vary the angular orientation of the support structure with respect to the support plate and the roof while rotation of the wheel will vary the rotational position of the solar panel with respect to the horizontal support plate and roof.
