1. A solar heating assembly comprising: an outer enclosure having side walls and a bottom wall; a fluid inlet opening into the enclosure and a fluid exhaust outlet from the enclosure; a cradle pivotally mounted within the enclosure; a first motor for pivoting the cradle in a north-south direction for seasonally tracking solar energy during changes in the earth's angle relative to the sun during a year; a solar energy collector enclosure pivotally mounted to and at least partially within the cradle so as to track an east to west relative movement of the earth relative to the sun each day; a second motor for moving the collector enclosure to track the sun each day; a Fresnel lens mounted to move within the outer enclosure above and with the collector enclosure for concentrating solar energy on a heat sink carried by the collector enclosure; and a blower for drawing air through the fluid inlet opening, into heat exchange relationship with the heat sink, and discharging heated fluid to the air exhaust outlet.
