This part is designed to hold five light reactive resistors. The four at the base are differentially shaded by the X and their values are used to point the array directly toward the brightest light source. The fifth sensor located at the top of the X is used to disable the device in the case of a cloud obscuring the sun. This prevents the system from searching and pointing at the brightest spot.
The two parts are superglued together so that the smaller part functions as an attachment bracket.
