A heliostat contained within a mechanical enclosure 100 that optimizes the heliostat for domestic applications such as domestic lighting. Protection from outside weather is achieved be the spherical shape of the enclosure which is transparent. A steering control sensor 8, a mechanical mirror-steering mechanism 5 and a steering control system 6 are preferably mounted at the rear side of a mirror 3. The mirror is moveable about two axes and the steering control sensor is preferably in wireless communication with the steering control system so as to accurately guide the movement of the mirror. The mirror may be a plane or curved mirror. The heliostat device is electrically self-powering preferably by means of photovoltaic cells 4a,4b. |
