A universal heliostat control system [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2017 This paper describes the development of a universal heliostat control system as part of the AutoR project [1]. The system can control multiple receivers and heliostat types in a single application. The system offers support for multiple operators on different machines and is designed to be as adaptive as possible.

Design and Validation of a Passive Solar Tracking Sensor Based on Gnomon Shadow Analysis
International Journal of Photoenergy, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Solar tracking is essential for efficiency, yet current market solutions present a trade‐off: Active systems are precise but expensive and computationally demanding, while low‐cost passive systems (e.g., LDRs) often lack accuracy. To address this gap, this work presents the design and validation of a passive solar tracking sensor based on gnomon shadow
