ABSTRACT:
A pivotally mounted solar energy collector is maintained oriented towards the sun by creating a continuing imbalance of the collector about its pivotal axis resulting in pivotal movement of the collector to track the sun. The imbalance is achieved by regulating the flow of a pumped fluid from a container located at one side of the collector to a container located at another side of the collector. Pump, timing and energizing means are included to control the flow rate of the fluid.
