Hello everyone, Im happy to share some upgrades ( I want to apologize for my English first - not native language ) , I manage to upgrade my eco worthy equipment, In general I find this tracking to be a good system- but over close checking I found some mechanical and design issues that I will try to address up in following posts.
Lets start with what we know - this device can hold 6 panel - 100W, meaning 60KG of weight in total- and here is the important key- limit of 60 KG is not because this device can't handle a bit more, its because the accutator are bulld for low weight, - consider thet a large 10 ft sat dish has a 24V motor just to move it because of the weight it needs to move.
so according to that = 3X350-400W panels = 6 X 100W panel in weight but the device itself isn't build for 3 panel but 6 to balance the weight.
so after diff testing and checking what is the best way to setup the panels vs the movement of the device I come with the following design that im pretty happy with, there are more things to setup and twick but I will add them later
the struts in the last picture I got from HD- they are much better holding the weight and one piece
