Abstract: A solar tracking system is a machine that is designed for the orientation of different solar energy receivers, photovoltaic arrays or thermal receivers. The paper proposes a new solution of the solar position sensor used in tracking system control. The new matrix solar sensor (MSS) is an economic device but in the same time MSS advantages are the robustness and the accuracy. An actual tracking system that uses the new MSS achieves a position accuracy better then 1°. The main innovative concept of the new MSS is to use the ancient concept of solar clock to digitize the data set provided by the photosensors matrix area. The new MSS uses eight ordinary photo-resistors. These sensors working principle is to operate in two extreme conditions: in bright area or in shaded area. This binary principle simplifies the operating of the tracking control device.
