I'd like to see you review the Eco worthy solar tracker. It looks legit and it's way cheaper.

[@Rostol]

with $3000 you buy 16 x 415w bifacial panels. you could buy 4 panels and put them in an arc covering the solar motion thru the sky, like aim one for the best 9 am sun, aim the other for midday, the other at 15hs, and 18hs (adjust the times and angles to your latitude and time of year) you would get a LOT more energy for ~800

[@SonnyDarvish]

In Germany (I think it is VAT-free here), right now on mydealz, I see multiple posts with 435 watt, 36 panels for 2,000 euros (that's 15 kW!). The whole setup is so cheap nowadays that it makes sense to go off-grid completely and the system should pay for itself in less than 5 years. In summer, you should be able to make money by feeding back to the grid actually.

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

[@steverogers8163]

yeah half the price for a 6 panel 1200 watt system. looks like the major downside is its a fixed install, where as the EcoFlow is mobile. Though honestly getting it up on pole is a benefit since that will help you clear ground cover. Still only really makes sense if you only have one spot you can put panels so you just need every watt you can get.

[@mwolrich]

what makes more sense is a single axis tracker, which is far simpler mechanicly (it just adjusts the “tilt angle” of the panels to try and keep them at 90 degrees to the sun), that is a simply hydraulic cylinder that can move like 10 panels up & down and costs far less. with all of that said, panels are so inexpensive now, just buy more panels, trackers no longer make financial sense

[@trentvlak]

Yes. Single axis without any of the sun sensors. Since the sun is predictable, it could just have a programmable track. This would reduce the complexity to a single axis and motor with simple controller.

[@nikscha]

The tracker "laying down" is probably the best thing to do when there's cloud cover.

[@timm7524]

Genius analysis and very fair comparison. I also don't know why it would use an active tracking system, prone to error and power waste, rather than inputing local time and GPS coordinates. Even an approximately accurate, deterministic sky tracker would be significantly better without being prone to dead time. It only need be accurate to, say, 5 degrees to be a boost over a static array. Edit to add: If this syncs with a phone, the user doesn't even have to put in anything. It can check location and time during setup.

[@Mr_Nobody_CA]

Don’t worry. It will be 60% off during Thanksgiving sales

[@bloepje]

the eco worthy dual axis trackers (it just tilts 2 directions, it doesn't turn) costs around 500 euro. One of the reviewers added 4 x 430W panels on it. I have 4 430W panels (trina bifacials) just on the ground and they ocassionally do 2.3kW.. I am really thinking about buying it, because left or right, I need to set up my solar panels more permanently... Like 3x4 to get through the winter in an off-grid situation.

[@jonasstahl9826]

Dont overload the tracker imagen what happends when it is windy.

[@fgregerfeaxcwfeffece]

Trackers made sense when panels where expensive. But now panels are so cheap it is a lot cheaper to just hang panels everywhere in any direction. So gz they made product for the past.

[@colinkeizer7353]

Wow. That was the most valuable ten minutes of listening in my morning. Thanks!

[@smirkingdevil]

It is interesting that you cannot use the app to input your GPS location, date and time, and have the tracker just track the Sun.

[@breakfast-burrito]

using a PV Sensor to try and track the sun is a CURSED way of doing it. For 3400 bucks, it should just have a GPS antenna to do this calculation onboard...

[@OskaBc1]

that would make sooooooooo much more sense

[@SonnyDarvish]

That's the price to cover a whole house in Germany! 36 x 435W Bifacial (57€/Modul) - 200€ delivery. With the other 1,000€, I'll buy the MPPT, inverter, etc. All I need to do is to add 2 maybe 4 more panels for about 150-250 euros to cover the losses.

I would've liked to see how much more power a panel with a tracker provides than one without.

[@bobjohnson4512]

I have pole mounted panels I can rotate around if I want. Moving them every 30 minutes I can get 18% more watts a day. The problem is you must have a lot of open area east and west and the high humidity I have cuts down on production for the first two hours in the morning. I usually leave them alone unless it was too cloudy the day before or it is going to be cloudy part of the day and I need the power. I don't think trackers are worth while since panels went below $3.00 a watt.

[@RC-wu6gm]

That is perfect for picnics, camping trips and post disasters e.g. hurricanes where space, portability, rapid setup/dismantling is the priority. All it takes is 5-10 mins setup to start producing power with no need to readjust panels several times as the sun shifts. I believe it would be better to use supercapacitors instead of an internal battery to power the motor. The tracking failures you experienced leads me to believe the sun tracking sensor and or firmware has some bugs and can do with some fixes.

[@harrison00xXx]

"The tracking failures you experienced leads me to believe the sun tracking sensor and or firmware has some bugs and can do with some fixes." The prohibitive pricing and followed rare purchases of this overpriced, bad designed item leads me to believe they have not sold enough to care about the customers enough using those to fix those issues with a firmware update.

[@copperknight4788]

One use for a solar tracker can be in "balcony" PV. In Germany, until recently, you were limited to a 600w panel and inverter if you wanted to install solar without an electrician and registering the panel. This however is getting changed to 800w inverter and 2000w of solar panels. So at least for the price it is not worth it.

[@Sorikan]

The point of this product, to me, is for very small yards and mobile applications. I would LOVE to have this for my river 2 pro so I don't have to move panels all day in my tiny HOA back yard. However I could never find it reasonably priced. I have not been able to find a reasonable priced 'portable' solar tracker that I can take out and put into my backyard when I need to charge my river 2 in an emergency situation - Does anyone know of one?

[@michaelmartin9022]

This first came out years ago and was sold out for ages. As somebody said at the time, it made sense when panels were crazy expensive, but as the price has fallen through the floor recently, just make up for a shortfall by buying more. Unless, of course, you have super-limited space.

[@skorpion1298]

It never makes sense until the Electricity costs is way above 1$ or 1€ per Kwh. I guess.

[@airventli]

I think 4 solar panels facing in four directions would take up about the same amount of space.

[@Senthiuz]

Even with limited space, a 2 axis tracker needs so much clearance for spinning that fixed panels might end up taking up less effective space.

[@ZoranAUS]

I purchased the tracker bundled with a foldable 400W ecoflow panel for $3000 AUD (might have been a website glitch), that's a bargain for a hi tech camping toy.. but yes the price they are asking at retail they can go smoke.

[@conorstewart2214]

At that price just buy more panels and position them for different times of day. Arranging 3 panels in an arc to follow the sun throughout the day might not use much more space than the tracker although it would need a custom mount or three individual mounts but it should work almost as well in the early morning and evening.

[@whattheschmidt]

lol, my second, small array was 2.5kW, 8 full size panels for only $2700. Generates enough energy for my to drive on every year. Microinverters for each panel so they generate independently too.

[@MatthewYBarbo]

Very cool idea, but a big waste of hard earned money. Appreciate you guys doing the testing on this unit and showing the pros and cons as always!

[@captainobvious9188]

It's for very specific case of minimizing how much stuff you're packing in somewhere, but maximizing your solar output. It's meant for their expensive fold-out lightweight panels.

[@harrison00xXx]

Makes absolutely no sense, still! Why packing a huge tracker and frame, if you can go much lighter and smaller by just packing "only" panels with attached, foldable stands on it? Much cheaper, smaller and less complex, YET MORE OUTPUT!

[@timm7524]

Yeah, I don't buy it either. Their comparison to using just two panels is very fair and reasonable, even if talking about limited space. It's hard to imagine a situation where you can't squeeze in a second static panel rather than spend 10x as much money for a more complex, error prone setup that still needs some room to rotate.

[@merendell]

I think it would be a heck of alot better to just have a mostly static array for peak solar and 1 or 2 pannels angled to catch morning and evening to get you over those troughs in production if you really need it. You could put up several kilowatts of pannels for the same price as that one 400 watt tracker. Heck just mount a pair of bifacials verticly faceing east/west to catch the morning/evening sun and let a normal array do the mid day stuff.

[@johntate5284]

For that same price from Signature Solar, you could have got an EG4 5 KW rack battery, an EG4 3 KW inverter and a couple of 400 watt solar panels

[@AlphaGamingImpact]

I was gonna get this but I realize it's $3500 🤕😴😓☠💀 Just get 8 panels and put 2 panels on all sides.

[@NextNate03]

The extra energy it produces adds up alot over time. Especially in the long run. On the other hand, it is still alot of 💰.

[@harrison00xXx]

Yes, the extra energy by JUST DOUBLING THE PV PEAK POWER adds up very much, especially in the long run and with worse weather. On the other hand... it is still a lot cheaper than this overpriced, garbage tracker thing

[@bobedwards8896]

if your handy(can make a lightweight frame for it), an interesting test would be to fill this with a bunch of super lightweight flexible panals. until your at its max weight limit

[@jdrissel]

The other place it might make sense is if you're extremely space constrained. For example it might make sense if the only place you've got to put your solar panels in an apartment or hotel room balcony. It might also make sense for a traveling demo setup. If you're having to fly your solar panel around with you it might be cheaper to fly one solar panel and one tracker. But for the vast majority of uses this is not a good idea as cool as it is.

[@harrison00xXx]

stacking even 4 solar panels uses LESS SPACE than this overpriced, overrated tracker

[@adamiq]

So what you just said is one panel on a tracker max wat was just over 300 and 2 panels static 700/2 is more than one on tracker? Nice testing

[@quintrapnell3605]

It’s more efficient to just mount vertical panels. The fact that it’s not tracking and vertical adds back efficiency by lowering heat.

[@Hootie811]

I would have thought a GPS and compass would be the best way to determine where the sun is.. and then use the other sensor to fine tune. Would be neat to see a version for caravans, but it would need to be super light weight and go low profile to handle driving at high speed.

[@cyphre]

Feels like, at the very least, the tracker should have a less 'smart' system by setting up a GPS coordinate type deal, and having it 'auto track' where the sun should be, while maybe making corrections or learning a more direct track of the sun. Solar tracking definitely makes more sense if it was cost effective (both in money and power cost). Best possible use case for something of this scale would be an RV or trailer/hauler.

[@mdynasty8219]

I heard the price and now I wanna make it myself, let me see, either 2 motors or 2 actuators, a photosensitive sensor module and a Arduino as the controller. For the base I saw a diy 4D motions flight seat. Using a similar gear set up and3D printed based should work. But more than anything I’m certain someone made a video on this

[@testi2025]

You would think that after couple of hours of tracking, it could estimate sun movement, or as you said, just wait for a moment. If this is going on a moving platform, throw a $3 imu/compass on it and it would have a pretty good idea where to face.

[@Toastmaster_5000]

I do see 3 valuable use cases for solar trackers, given they're developed correctly and don't have a moronic price like $3400: 1. Limited space. Whether all you've got is a tiny yard or perhaps you've got an RV and you're in a parking lot with limited spaces, this can help decrease your footprint while maximizing power potential. Also for an RV, fewer panels means less you need to pack. It could also be worth it for roof-mounted panels. 2. Portability - continuing the point about the RV, if you're expecting to mantle/dismantle the panels, having fewer of them is easier to deal with. 3. Last but certainly not least is the amount of shade you get. Some people live in areas where there's just not enough sunlight to hit the ground or roof, where adding more panels isn't really going to do much.

[@jeffjames3111]

If you have very limited space and when the price of these drop considerably there will in fact some use cases for these small systems.

[@aggressiveaegyo7679]

I wonder what the problem is in creating a panel coating made of a pimply transparent material that will collect light from any direction and refract the beam at 90 degrees to the panel. If they thought of using optics in road signs, why don't they do something similar where it is needed? Especially since the panels are already covered with various protective materials. By the way, this will increase the textured surface area, which increases cooling.

[@maxigs]

If you want cheap even solar power over the day use two panels in parallel, one to east, one to west. You can even over provision your inverter that way, as no panel will ever reach it's full output, but the combination will deliver much higher output early and late. Panels are so cheap these days, it's a no brainer. Especially since aligning all panels to south is usually wasting a lot of power, or increases the cost for storage.

[@JCHoefer]

Not sure why there are sensors. Celestial mechanics are not going to change. Sunset, sunrise and direction of the sun's travel across the sky are (relatively) easy to calculate if you know where you are and when. Orient the unit directly south, then use an app to enter a zip code, date and time. Or put a small GPS unit in it. It doesn't need to be crazy precise.

Only one actuator has failed after 2 years. Ecoworthy's and the eBay $40 tracker controllers, have settings to wait for clouds. My 10 panel array produces 20kW on a good day, and the single axis tracking produces an additional 15-20%, vs static panels, so an additional 3-4kW. So that's an additional $.50 to $.70/day, and it adds up, obviously and allows us to put an additional 8 miles or range into our Lightning EV.
