Solar collection system and method

This invention describes a solar energy system that collects sunlight for heating or cooling. It uses a solar panel mounted on a frame that automatically moves to follow the sun throughout the day, ensuring optimal energy capture. A pump circulates fluid through the panel to a storage tank, and a smart controller manages the system based on temperature differences to efficiently use the collected heat. The claims specify a frame with mounting, central, and angled arms.

Why it matters: The cost and accessibility of microcontrollers, sensors, and motor control for sun tracking and temperature management have dramatically improved since 2014, simplifying system implementation.
