Abstract

Disclosed is a solar tracking apparatus capable of easily and quickly tracking the sunlight even under bad conditions such as weather or the like. The solar tracking apparatus comprises a photosensor module for precise-tracking and a photosensor module for wide-tracking. The photosensor module for precise-tracking includes: a cylindrical body having an entrance on which sunlight is incident; and at least four photosensor for precise-tracking which are respectively arranged inside the cylindrical body according to a point of the compass, wherein the entrance has an inner portion formed in cylindrical shape on the whole. The photosensor module for wide-tracking is integrated with or inserted into the girth of the entrance in the cylindrical body. The photosensor module for wide-tracking has a longitudinal section which is symmetrically structured on the whole, and an outer surface which is tapered. Sensor-positioning recessed portions are radially formed at the tapered outer surface according to a point of the compass, and at least four photosensors for wide-tracking are respectively arranged in each sensor-positioning recessed portion according to a point of the compass. According to the present invention, the solar tracking apparatus does not create a shadow because a ring-shaped structure is adopted, thereby minimizing a detection error of a sensor value which may be generated by the shadow. Further, since sensor slots are equipped, it is possible to more exactly perceive the position of the sun when the position of the sun is inferred.
