PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a solar energy alignment and collection system which facilitates tracking and increases collection efficiency.SOLUTION: A solar energy alignment and collection system includes at least two solar energy receivers having a central focal point, each receiver generating an energy output based on received light energy; an actuation system operatively coupled to the at least two solar energy receivers, the actuation system being configured and disposed to shift the solar energy receivers along at least one axis; and a control system operatively linked to the solar energy receivers and the actuation system, the control system sensing the energy output of each of the solar energy receivers and shifting the actuation system along the at least one axis, causing solar energy to be directed at the central focal point. When the solar energy is directed at the central focal point, the energy output of each of the solar energy receivers is substantially identical. |
