ABSTRACT:
The solar energy collecting invention uses a frame to position a conduit for carrying fluid to receive solar energy reflected from a reflector also supported by the frame, for rotatable movement around the conduit. A tracking apparatus is provided to rotate the reflector around the conduit from a protected position, with the reflector facing generally earthward and northward to follow the sun. Whenever clouds or sunset stop the sunshine, the tracking apparatus will rotate the reflector to the protected position. Rotation of the reflector is controlled by use of a commutative switch directing power according to the position of the reflector, first to a holding circuit adapted to rotate the reflector from the protected position when there is adequate sunlight, and second to a tracking circuit adjusted to rotate the reflector when there is inadequate sunlight.
