The solar reflectors use computation as a means to enhance a typical passive solar collector system. Sensors detect where the direct sunlight is and the reflectors rotate to the correct angle. Once as the optimum angle the reflectors open up dynamically to the optimal angle at any given moment. The system then can also close down to rotate back to the starting position as well as on rainy days and days with high wind conditions.
