A sun position sensor including a plurality of solar sensors sensing solar energy arriving in a respective azimuth and elevational direction, data encoding means for a series of respective solar azimuth and elevational positions, each position corresponding to a respective solar sensor and wherein said data encoding means are coupled to the solar sensors to derive a sensed solar position, a solar collector effective for receiving solar energy in a discrete direction, drive means positioning the solar collector and providing position data corresponding to the position of the solar collector, and comparator means comparing the collector position and the solar position and providing a drive signal until the two positions are equal. A geodesic dome portion includes several facets each of which contains a respective plurality of solar sensors to provide an electrical output signal representing the amount of solar incidence on a respective sensor/dome facet. |
