To track a celestial body like the sun, you may need an equitorial
mount as is used on telescopes. Do a Google search on that type of
mount, to see what it is. And then, if you can combine it with a TV
rotator, voila...

There is a simple, elegant and more expensive means: Buy a Yaesu az/el
rotor as for satellite operation. Connect the control box through a
SASI tracker or similar device and use Nova or some other sat tracking
program. Almost all of the Keplerian element lists include the sun.
