A method and low-cost, apparatus is disclosed which implements a light-weight and precision multiple-axis tilting mechanism (610), operating on low power in a master-slave topology (FIG.3). Image-based direct measurements of sun-position provides superior accuracy as compared to open-???? sun-tracking formulae (FIG.4A.4B). A specific embodiment comprising of large collection of small-sized heliostats is considered, which can be orchestrated to implement large solar power applications (306). |
