1. An alternative energy structure, which comprises;

  • (a) a cylindrical outer structure, having its centerline in a substantially horizontal position and being defined by an upper section and a lower section, with opposing sides wherein at least a portion of said upper section is solar transparent;

    (b) at least one non-horizontal panel track traversing said upper section of said outer structure within said outer structure;

    (c) at least one solar panel moveably connected to said panel track so as to be traversable from one side of said upper section to an opposite side of said upper section;

    (d) at least one non-horizontal counterweight track traversing said lower portion of said outer structure within said outer structure;

    (e) at least one counterweight moveably connected to said counterweight track so as to be traversable from one side of said lower section to an opposite side of said lower section;

    (f) said at least one solar panel and said at least one counterweight being connected to one another by a first connection mechanism and by an opposite, second connection mechanism; and

    ,(g) a drive motor connected to at least one of;

    said at least one solar panel, said at least one counterweight, said first connection mechanism and said second connection mechanism, to drive said at least one solar panel from a first position to an opposite second position to follow the sun.
