I was surfing the other day on youtube looking at arduino stuff. I found a pretty neat little solar tracker that a guy had setup. He used three photo-resistors. One was perpendicular to the panel, one was angled to the right, and one to the left. The program simply adjusted position based on the resistance from the photo-resistors. Pretty neat. I'd find it and give you a link, but youtube is blocked at work.
