Zusammenfassung:A terrestrial solar array is provided to optimize a size and an aspect ratio of a solar cell and to optimize a design of a sub array, a module or a panel comprising the array. A central support(22) is mounted in the surface and is rotated around an axis in a central length direction. A support frame is rotatably supported in the central support in an axis at right angle to the central length direction. A plurality of triple junction III-v compound semiconductor solar cell receiver(19) are mounted on the support frame. A solar cell array generates the power above 18kW peak DC in the complete radiation. The central support and the support frame are rotated by an actuator to make the solar cell array rectangular to the solar beam.
