Sun Tracking Systems: A Review
TL;DR: A high level overview of the sun tracking system field is provided and some of the more significant proposals for closed-loop and open-loop types of sun tracking systems are described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recent advancements and challenges in Solar Tracking Systems (STS): A review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the most commonly used solar trackers and identify the systems that offer benefits such as greater efficiency, greater tracking accuracy, easy installation and cost effectiveness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Direct Use of the Sun's Energy
TL;DR: In the future, atomic energy and solar energy should be comple mentary rather than competitive as discussed by the authors, and atomic energy will be produced in large units requiring high capital investment in temperate latitudes and cloudy areas, and near cities, where there is not enough sunlight to satisfy the concentrated energy needs.

Solar concentrator elevational drive mechanism
TL;DR: A mechanism for elevationally driving a solar concentrator pivotally mounted on a pedestal between a zenith facing position and any intermediate position using a single linear actuator is described in this article.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Development of Sun-Tracking System Using Image Processing
TL;DR: The development of an image-based sun position sensor and the algorithm for how to aim at the Sun precisely by using image processing are presented and results show that the proposed Sun tracking system had the capability to overcome the problem of unstable tracking in cloudy weather.
