<p>A solar lighting apparatus (22) for illuminating the interior of roofed building (28) while simultaneously generating electrical power from one or more photovoltaic panels (122, 124) secured to the reflector apparatus (58) for rotation therewith to track daily movements of the sun. The photovoltaic panels may be pivotally supported (126) by the hinged (66) reflector of the reflector apparatus and may be slidingly secured to a track for allowing the photovoltaic panels to fold to a horizontal position when the reflector apparatus is closed. Alternatively arrays of photovoltaic panels (184-188) may be supported on opposite sides of the reflector apparatus by brackets to a lower frame member of the reflector apparatus. A wind detection apparatus (222) is also disclosed for simulating the onset of darkness during the existence of dangerously high winds.</p> |
