This is an excellent, concise explanation of how the solar compass works to find the observers meridian in the related links.
In essence, the solar compass allows one to determine true north by making observations of the path of the sun during daytime. Since that path is east to west, north is perpendicular. Because this can be a highly accurate instrument, knowing how the exact path of the sun can tell a person the latitude as well as other things.
