Examples of 'heliostat' in a sentence

Meaning of "heliostat"

A device that tracks the movement of the sun and reflects its rays in a fixed direction, often used in solar power plants to concentrate sunlight onto a central receiver
Show more definitions
  • A device that includes a plane mirror which turns so as to keep reflecting sunlight toward a predetermined target, compensating for the sun's apparent motions in the sky. The target may be a physical object, distant from the heliostat, or a direction in space, and is almost always stationary relative to the heliostat, so the light is reflected in a fixed direction.
