Abstract
The radiation flux distribution of off-centered solar images formed by a sun-tracking paraboloidal reflector is theoretically analyzed for several tracking error angles using Joes’s sunshape equation and assuming a specularly reflecting surface without taking meteorological conditions into consideration. The results are printed out by computer in the form of shade density maps to bring out a clear contrast to the low and high flux areas of a full image.
