ABSTRACT:
A solar tracking control system for generally controlling the position of a pivotable solar panel connected to a motor by selectively energizing and de-energizing the motor. A signal programmer generates a plurality of time dependent signals wherefrom periodic motor energizing signals are generated for retaining the motor energized and the solar panel pivoting westerly. The degree of pivot of the solar panel is detected and a de-energizing signal is provided for stopping the motor and the westerly pivoting of the solar panel. The solar tracking control system is energized and de-energized in response to a power signal generated by signals received from the signal programmer. A water storage tank is connected to the solar panel and a water pump connected therebetween is energized on the occurrence of a preselected temperature different between the solar panel and the water storage tank. An east/west signal is generated in response to the time dependent signals received from the signal programmer and is connected to switches which are also connected to an overload determining temperature sensitive switch so as to pivot the solar panel away from direct sunlight in response to the determination of an overload condition.
