Abstract:
1. A solar tracking device, comprising: a solar panel, for converting solar energy into electric energy; an orientation control device, controlling an orientation of the solar panel according to a position and a time of the solar panel; and an inclination sensing device, disposed on the solar panel for detecting an inclination direction of the solar panel, wherein the inclination sensing device is suitable for outputting a feedback signal to the orientation control device to adjust the orientation of the solar panel, wherein the inclination sensing device comprises a first containing area extended along a first direction and a first moving element disposed within the first containing area, wherein a first sensing element is disposed within the first containing area, the first sensing element senses a first moving position of the first moving element to detect a first inclination angle of the solar panel along the first direction, and the first moving element moves along the first direction, wherein the inclination sensing device further comprises a second containing area extended along a second direction and a second moving element disposed within the second containing area, wherein a plurality of second sensing elements are disposed within the second containing area, the second sensing elements sense a second moving position of the second moving element to detect a second inclination angle of the solar panel along the second direction, and the second moving element moves along the second direction.
