Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention includes a sun sensor assembly having an aperture that defines an area that is less than the area of the photo-detecting surface of a corresponding first photo-detector. According to another aspect, the present invention also includes a solar concentrator includes at least two sun sensor assemblies mounted on the concentrator in a manner to help the solar concentrator track the sun. According to another aspect, the present invention also includes a method of processing electrical signals from two or more photo-detectors. According to yet another aspect, the present invention includes a sun tracking system that includes a solar panel that includes a solar concentrator and control system. L'invention concerne un ensemble capteur solaire comprenant une ouverture qui définit une zone plus petite que la zone de la surface de photodétection d'un premier photodétecteur correspondant. Selon un autre aspect, l'invention concerne également un concentrateur solaire comprenant au moins deux ensembles capteur solaire montés sur le concentrateur de manière à faciliter la poursuite du soleil par le concentrateur solaire. Selon un autre aspect, l'invention concerne également un procédé de traitement de signaux électriques provenant de deux photodétecteurs ou plus. Selon un dernier aspect, l'invention concerne un système de poursuite du soleil comprenant un panneau solaire qui renferme un concentrateur solaire et un système de commande.
