Thank you Aerohead. You guys always have a answer. :-)

This "solid state solar tracker"... Is it a series of different connection that you switch in different ways ?

I imagine a solition before, but not like a elaborated device, but like 2 ou 3 line connections, in different ways, and you would switch to the best for a given angle of the sun in relkation to the car. The difficult would be to keep the same voltage for panels.

I wondered if a device with a compass and GSP could calculate the sun position, car position, car angle (body lenght) in relation to the sun, and computate the beast adjust for better power perfomance of the solar panel system. The level, car angle inglination in case of climb or go down a hill could also be a factor to calculate.

In the case of SOlar WOrld No* 1 this management of solar cells connections would be very important, since this specific solar car it's quite far from have a flat surface:
