Claim:
1. A two axis solar tracking system comprises: a first fixed base and a primary linear actuator disposed on said first fixed base and having a first computer programmable motor; a first linearly movable element that is movable along a first axis; a second linear actuator disposed on one end of said first movable element and including a second computer programmable motor; a second linear movable element in the shape of an inverted J is movable by said second actuator along a second axis that is perpendicular to said first axis; and a second fixed base disposed in an open area defined by a U-shaped portion of said inverted J-shaped element and said U-shaped portion including a relatively short elongated opening in the outer short end of said J-shaped element; a linearly rotatable actuator disposed on said second fixed base and a slidable/rotatable arm disposed in said linearly/rotatable actuator and having an upwardly extending L-shaped end and a downwardly extending projection generally parallel to said upwardly extending end and into said elongated opening; and wherein rotational movement of said arm is controlled by said computer programmable first and second motors for solar tracking, and wherein said slidable/rotatable arm is rotated by the primary and second linear actuators by moving the first and second linear movable elements.
