To get Greenwich Time (aka UT) I use a DS1307 chip.

Therefore, I have adapted them, expecting only Julians dates starting from 1.Jan. 2000.

Use following program plus libraries for older Arduino IDE (0023 and older):
{{zip|SolarTracker4Arduino.zip|14KB|Version from 09.03.2011}}
For newer Arduino IDE (1.0.1 and later) use instead the following package,
{{zip|SolarTracker4Arduino1.0.1.zip|17KB|Version from 16.01.2015}}
Once you got it running, verify the calculated positions, for instance with
[http://www.sunearthtools.com/dp/tools/pos_sun.php solar position calculator] from
sunearthtools. (Attention: SolarTracker4Arduino does NOT account for daylight saving time (DST),
you have to determine UT (when you set your timer chip) as if there was no DST at all. On the other hand, sunearthtools allow using DST,
and this option is selected by default.
