Abstract

Senseur pour le pointage dans la direction d'un faisceau lumineux. Il comporte deux cellules solaires 11 et 13 dont les faces photosensibles 15 et 17 font entre elles un angle alpha différent de 180 degrés . Le faisceau lumineux 23 frappe obliquement chacune des deux cellules qui, branchées en opposition, délivrent globalement un signal nul lorsque le plan 19 bissecteur de l'angle alpha est parallèle au faisceau 23. Alignement de tout mobile par rapport à une direction de référence lumineuse et particulièrement alignement automatique d'un capteur d'énergie solaire muni de concentrateur, dans la direction du soleil.
