ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning solar energy collector which maintains its attitude facing the sun during the sun's daily and seasonal changes. Tension cables hold the collector in position, and are positioned so as to be out of equilibrium when off-axis solar radiation heat one cable more than another.
Self-alignment is in both horizontal and vertical planes. Multiple collectors are also disclosed in a ganged or master-slave relationship.
