Abstract:
A heliostat apparatus includes one mirror frame supporting a reflecting mirror; a pair of north-south rotational shafts to rotate the mirror frame in the north-south direction; an east-west rotational shaft to rotate the mirror frame in the east-west direction with the north-south direction as the rotational axis direction; a pair of arms projecting from the east-west rotational shaft to the east and west; an east-west rotational shaft support allowing east-west rotational shaft axial rotation; and the north-south rotational shafts positioned to face each other on the ends of the arms. The mirror frame rotation, etc. as an integrated unit in the east-west direction with the east-west rotational shaft as the rotational axis adjusts a reflecting mirror reflecting surface east-west angle. With the north-south rotational shaft as the rotational axis, the mirror frame rotation in the north-south direction adjusts the north-south angle of at least one reflecting mirror reflecting surface.
