Solar tracking reflector system for structure lighting
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008United States Patent No. 7,430,077, issued today.
This device works in conjunction with a skylight. With an array of mirrors, it seeks to direct sunlight through a skylight. A solar tracking device adjusts the angular position of the mirrors to keep them facing the sun. The motor itself is powered by a solar array so that no external power source is needed.
I like this idea - making a “passive” solar device such as a skylight more “active”.
