You have quite a nice setup Lloyd. Harvesting the sun is the way to go with the hot summers we have. They will definitely pay for themselves quickly.

Hello. The 4 solar trackers are really a solar power station! :) It is generating a lot of electricity. It's great to power many appliances such as lighting air conditioner refrigerator microwave and so on in your shop. Thanks my friend.

It looks like you have your sensors at the bottom I could be wrong. If you place the sun sensor towards the top of the panel they'll work better. And by the way they all get out of whack.

Thank you for the tracker update. I would like to see a review of the whole house's solar system. I am lost with all the wiring on the wall. I ask because I live in an area with killer west sun. But it's in the front yard, I don't want to attach to my metal roof so a front porch may be in order. On the other hand, I have an intense morning sun In just a sliver in the east backyard. What I am looking at is a string configuration named East and West. Thanks for all your work

Thanks and good luck with the system you install. There are several DIY complete solar kits on eBay. Do your research and you can have a very functional system.

Hey Lloyd, Looks like Y'all are going to be making some real good power. Who did you purchase that tracker through? I am assembling components for a solar array at El Rancho and this looks like it would be a good fit for me. It's awesome to see you using that ground saw, I remember the series you had restoring that machine. Hope you're having a splendid weekend.
