Solar tracking apparatus is disclosed which utilizes received solar energy to effect tracking movements, the apparatus comprising focussing means, mounting means mounting the focussing means for tracking movements of the sun, drive means including heat expansible members movable with the focussing means, the heat expansible members being disposed relative to the focussing means so as to receive different amounts of solar radiation from the focussing means when the focussing means is misaligned with the sun so as to produce a differential expansion therein, the drive means being operable on differential expansion of said heat expansible members to cause movement of the focussing means in a direction towards realignment with the sun.
