摘要 |
The present invention is a solar light aligning apparatus that uses optics and optical physics to align sun light. The solar light aligning apparatus can determine the tilt of any planar surface such that the planar surface is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the sun. The apparatus can be used as a guide to adjust the tilt angle of solar energy collection apparatus such as solar photovoltaic or solar thermal energy collectors. The solar light aligning apparatus can determine the optimal tilt angle for high efficiency solar energy collection on a daily basis, for any latitude, seasonal movement of the sun, east-west orientation of solar energy collector, and pitch of the surface upon which solar energy collectors are mounted. |
