Project Description:
This is a solar panel tracer built from scrap 6 inch drill stem pipe and square tubing. This automatically tracks the sun from east to west
Build Process:
Joined 2 pieces of scrap inch drill stem for the support beam using my gas welder then welded the square support tubing using my mig welder. Using a linear actuator from a satellite dish and joint mechanism also from a satellite dish. Tracker sensor purchased from Red Rok. Works perfectly.
