An alternative energy structure is disclosed, defined by an upper section and a lower section, wherein at least part of the upper section is solar transparent. A panel track traverses the upper section and a counterweight track traverses the lower section. The tracks are non-horizontal. A solar panel is movably connected to the panel track, and a counterweight is movably connected to the counterweight track such that the panel can traverse the upper section and the counterweight can traverse the lower section. The solar panel and the counterweight are connected to one another by a first connection mechanism and an opposite, second connection mechanism. A drive motor is connected to at least one of: the solar panel, the counterweight, the first connection mechanism and the second connection mechanism, to drive the solar panel from a first position to an opposite, second position to follow the sun.
