Furthermore, the solar cell panels 8b, 9b, 10b, and 11b on the upper surfaces of the second reflecting mirrors 8, 9, 10, and 11 can be used as driving sensors for the motors 43 and 48. That is, when the optical system faces the sun, the same electrical output can be obtained from the solar cell panels 8b, 9b, 10b, and 11b. And by driving the motors 43 and 48 so that the electrical outputs from the solar cell panels 8b, 9b, 10b, and 11b are the same, the optical system can always be directly opposed to the sun. In this case, the sensor 52 can be omitted.
