Title: Solar alignment device

Abstract: A solar alignment device for positioning a solar grill so that its collector plate is perpendicular to the incoming rays of the sun. The device is comprised of a light-transmitting fiber cable with one end recessed below an aperture that faces the sun in front of the grill, and the other end affixed to the top of the grill, facing the viewer. The positioning of the individual fiber ends within the cable, in combination with the aperture, provides a simple, economical and precise means for adjusting the solar grill to obtain the maximum solar incidence on its collector plate.
