Use solar panel to detect light levels

I currently open or close some of by blinds depending on the time of day to either keep the sun (heat) out in the summer, or let the sun (heat) in in the winter.  But, as the sun drifts over the course of the year different windows need to change their settings.

I have the solar charger on all my blinds, is there a way to use the charge intensity as a proxy for how much sun that particular window is getting?  And set it to open or close depending on some value?  I thought about getting a small zwave temp sensor to stick to the blind's header, but it seems I might have all the information I need already there...
