An image is formed on the image plane (ltI) placed at liK according to the solar inclination θ and the deviation from north and south ψ (
(See Figure 1). On the image plane (l+) there is a light receiving element play (
By arranging arrays of arrays (for example, image sensors) and sequentially outputting the signals for each array, it is possible to detect the position of the sun image formed on the image plane (ltI). (See Figure 3). That is, by sending the clock signal (l?) to one light receiving element n times, a serial signal with a bit arrangement corresponding to the light receiving state is generated at the output (11) from the image sensor. By sequentially accessing this for each element, a signal as shown in FIG. 9 is obtained, and from this signal it is possible to know at which position on the image plane (/) the image is focused. The position of the sun is determined from this information by the position calculation device (16) in Fig. 3 (ci, . . . ).
