  • Patent number: 8581164
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a light sensing system and a control method thereof. The light sensing system comprises a body, a plurality of first light sensors, a base, a plurality of second light sensors and a processing module. A through hole is disposed on the body. The first light sensors are disposed symmetrically on the body and generating a plurality of first sensing signal after sensing lights correspondingly. The base is arranged under the body. The second light sensors are disposed symmetrically on the base, while the geometric center of the second light sensors corresponds to the geometric center of the through hole. The second light sensors generating a plurality of second sensing signals correspondingly after sensing lights via the through hole. The processing module connects to the first and the second light sensors, and controls the light sensing system according to the first and the second sensing signals.

  • Patent number: 8367996
    Abstract: This invention discloses a solar sensing system and a solar tracking method thereof. The solar sensing system comprises a solar module, an azimuth sensor unit, an elevation sensor unit and a driving unit. The azimuth sensor unit and the elevation sensor unit are disposed on the surface of the solar module. The azimuth sensor unit senses sunlight to generate an azimuth signal. The driving unit receives the azimuth signal to turn the solar module until the azimuth sensor unit is aligned precisely towards the sunlight. The elevation sensor unit senses the sunlight to generate an elevation signal. The driving unit receives the elevation signal to turn the solar module until the elevation sensor unit is aligned precisely towards the sunlight. If the azimuth sensor unit and the elevation sensor unit are aligned precisely towards the sunlight, the solar module will also be aligned precisely towards the sunlight.
