ABSTRACT:
Solar energy conversion apparatus comprises a solar energy utilization surface, a reflective solar energy concentrator, a tracking device operable to cause the concentrator to track the sun and thereby concentrate solar energy on the utilization surface, a structure defining a shaded zone between the concentrator and the utilization surface such that solar rays reflected from the concentrator toward the utilization surface do not enter the shaded zone when the concentrator is aligned with the sun, wherein the tracking device includes solar energy sensitive elements located within the shaded zone and producing tracking control signals when struck by solar rays when the concentrator is not aligned with the sun.
