Heliostats often reflect the sky

A heliostat mounted on a building structure reflects the surrounding trees


A heliostat brings natural lighting and direct space heating to the building next door


The reflected sun spot is focused into a tight circle to pass through the third window from left


The heliostat mirrors are refocused so the sun spot spans the width of 3 windows


Heliostats require no set installation pattern; each operates independently
