Abstract: The present invention provides a solar tracking apparatus for use with a power driving apparatus. The solar tracking apparatus includes: a memory unit for recording a first solar image; an image capturing unit for capturing a second solar image; and an processing unit for obtaining difference between the first solar image and the second solar image; wherein the processing unit activates the power driving apparatus in response to the difference. Furthermore, the present invention also provides a solar power generation system using the solar tracking apparatus. Besides the solar tracking apparatus, the solar power generation system also includes a solar panel; the power driving apparatus for adjusting the position of the solar panel, wherein the processing unit of the solar tracking apparatus activates the power driving apparatus based on the difference so that the solar panel is aligned with the sun to gather the solar energy of the sun.
