Abstract

A solar concentrator calibration tool that compensates for inconsistencies in the fabrication  assembly and installation of a solar collector system  permitting the solar collector to perform optimally. The calibration tool provides feedback information to a supervisory control processor  allowing the processor to compare the expected position of the sun to the “actual” position found by the calibration tool. The processor then generates a calibration signal  thereafter used by the collector’s movement control mechanism  to compensate the tracking of the solar collector to accurately follow the movement of the sun  unconstrained by the effects of the construction inconsistencies.
