Abstract

The solar tracker consists of a balance mass movably attached to a passive body, the mass being reciprocable between two limit positions on either side of a tracking plane. A heat-sensitive primary positioning device acts on the balance mass to move it between the limit positions in response to direct solar radiation. A shield blocks the device from the sun when the tracking plane is aligned with the apparent instantaneous position of the sun. Thus, the passive body rotates about its primary pivot axis in the direction of apparent diurnal motion of the sun. The tracker can be used as part of a solar energy collecting system.
