Abstract
A one-axis azimuth sun-tracking carousel where the PV panels are mounted at a fixed tilt in operation can be mounted on a flat roof building without roof penetration and without risk of wind damage. The carousel is prefabricated and sized to carry the maximum power while still fitting in a standard shipping container. Panel support arms fold down for shipping or in the event of a hurricane to make the carousel less than 9 inches high. Because this carousel is prefabricated and compact, it can be easily hoisted up on a roof for rapid low-cost installation. Wind skirts provide low wind resistance in high wind situations during normal operation. In order to survive high winds without roof penetration, wire tether tie points allow several carousels in an array to be tethered together and to the building parapet walls.
