ABSTRACT:
A solar actuated louver system which provides shade in the summer but typically maximizes solar heating in the winter is disclosed. A plurality of overlapping, interconnected louvers pivot about parallel axes. A solar tracker has a frame which pivots between fixed stops. The tracker typically includes a pair of alternative tracking modes, a winter mode in which the frame is oriented toward the sun, and a summer mode in which the frame is oriented away from the sun. A counterweight is attached to the frame, and is adjustable between a summer position in which the center of gravity is above the pivotable axis of the frame, and a winter position in which the center of gravity is below the pivotable axis. The louvers are linked to the frame so that the louvers remain perpendicular to the frame.
