Despite worst brochure ever, the IXYS IXOLAR SolarBIT cells look ideal - and are the only ones I've found that are SMD.
Will need at least 4 of them (maybe 6?) on top of heliotropic platter, and ideally 2 underneath.
Each cell on top of the platter will reduce heat reflectance, resulting in increased heat in the photonics module.
For most of the day the camera will be facing away from sun and tilted downwards, ensuring that the top of the platter is facing the sun.
