The invention relates to a Sun tracking system consisting of a solar actuator designed on the principle of helio-thermo-mechanical conversion. The Sun system orientation is carried out by means of a bimetallic thermal actuator which controls the angular displacement of a wheel mechanism through which the daily Sun’s pursuit is carried out.
