ABSTRACT:
The invention provides solar conversion apparatus comprising concentrating means for concentrating solar energy onto at least one surface of a heat transfer conduit, tracking means for causing the concentrating means to track the sun, the tracking means including radiation sensitive elements which are operable on differential thermal expansion thereof to generate tracking control signals and an electric motor for moving said concentrating means, said motor being responsive to said control signals, tracking movement thus being initiated by thermal radiation but is arrested by optical radiation which is of short response time.
