Heliostaat.nlSolar tracking system

Do you want a solar light in your dark living room? The Suntrack solar reflector can keep the sun in your house and hold the sun reflection all day stable. That way it is possible to have a daylight lamp in your house or office. This system is called a Heliostat. The position of the sun is different every day, the software calculates the position of the reflection mirror every second. The sun position depends of the time and date and your place on earth. The time is very important, the DCF or GPS clock is used. You can use the solar tracker to point at solar panels for more efficiency or build a custom system using our controller to improve your solar panels with a solar tracking system.

Our DIY solar tracking system is easy to install.

This is an example how the solarlamp looks like during the day like a daylight lamp.

This is a diy solar tracking system. The solar tracker works without light sensors. The position of the sun and reflection position  is calculated. By learnig the the postion of the sun once the heliotrack controller calculates where to move the motors to get the right reflection position for the mirror. With the adjustable end switches in the rotor, the controller is learned once the maximum values of the horizontal and vertical boundries. The suntrack system is a dual axis solar tracker and has 2 operation modes: sun reflector to use as solar lightning and solar tracker to point solar pannels to the sun.

A Heliostat (from helios, the Greek word for sun, and stat, as in stationary) is a device that, in general, tracks the movement of the sun. The device typically utilizes a mirror, which can be oriented throughout the day to redirect sunlight along a fixed axis toward a stationary target or receiver.

Heliostats are used in solar telescopes, and solar power generation. Read more: Wikipedia solar tracker . Here a movie which explains a heliostat:
