If you own an Eco-Worthy Solar Tracker, DO THIS NOW!
Переглядів 1,2 тис.3 місяці тому
I have owned the The Eco-Worthy Dual Axis Solar Tracking post for almost a year now. It is a great product for the price and has worked great for me with one exception. Over the winter, the North/South actuator went bad. I contacted Eco-Worthy and they had a replacement on my porch in three days. This has brought my attention to a flaw in the instructions. Do yourself a favor and mount the Actu...

Winter Update of the EG4 24,000 BTU Hybrid Mini-split purchased from Signature Solar. I have had the unit in service for several months now, and I have been impressed by its performance. It has lowered my heating bill by half compared to my old electric furnace. I used it to cool during the summer using 100% solar. I was not compensated for this video in any way. I purchased this unit and the c...

Eco-Worthy Solar Tracker System Review
what is your pv voltage input ? Thanks for you video . I am thinking of getting the 12000 btu unit. Current Connected also sells them now too.
can we get actually watt consumption for heating and cooling please.
85 miles.its not what they advertise
i did 15 mile son mine and its at 52.8 volts that means is will do 100 miles and im a bigger guy and i did a few hills and normal riding all throttle.. thats only 2% loss meaning my other ebike 15 miles would be 20 percent.. so these really will do 100 miles
Love it. Thank you for the info.
It looks like you have all kinds of shadows on that solar panels ....
For sure :). I only get 4-5 hours of direct sun every day. The tracker really helps me make the most of it. Morning and late afternoon I only get partial sun and that is when I filmed. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for the test, the Juliet 2 at 1500W 52V must be even more powerful. This means that I, at 150 lbs, exceed 100 miles. I am convinced that at my weight I can do 60 miles is pure electric
Hey Jim.....Jay here, we chatted a good long time ago now.......finally taking a few minutes to re-watch your video here and program my tracker properly. Wanted to thank you again for your video here and taking the time to make it for us all. Best wishes my friend
Thank you!
Thank you!
For the T10 setting..... If I don't want my unit to go to the farthest east point (the panel will hit something if it goes the last 5 degrees east), can I just shorten that time to where I want it to stop? I never want the unit moving the panels east past a certain point.
Yes, you can stop it at any point. You will just need to time it's movement to the point you want it to stop and enter that value into the settings. Thanks for watching!
@@solojimoutdoors Thank you so much for the quick response. You're a life saver 👍👍
Allora: sono 4 o 5 mesi che guardo video. Da uno che l'ho installato e non sono ancora riuscito a programmarlo. Le istruzioni originali fanno schifo e chi fa video non sa davvero spiegare. Sei tu il primo che fa un video BELLO E CHIARO! Sono ed uno step avanti, ma non riesco ancora a farlo andare a riposo e non legge l'anemometro o almeno solo in parte. Fili già invertiti. Il valore 0 l'ho messo in T5. Aiuto!!!!! E Grazie ancora!
Thank you. T5 is in the wind settings. I believe it should be at 0, so it sits flat in high wind. The Low Light Return settings are T8 for time ,T9, T10, T11 & T12 for direction. Skip to 5:47 in my video. Hope this helps.
if your north south isn't working check the fuses inside the controller. My fuse failed. there is a 10 amp fuse inside.
Thanks. It ended up being the actuator. Eco-Worthy sent me a new one and it is working great now.
Awesome ❤😊
Thank you!
Excellent video!❤🎉
This video is an awesome resource! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Thank you!
Good stuff
The website says 60 miles full throttle, obviously this is on flat terrain.
Can bifacial panels be an solution? They heat up from the back and snow should fall off?
Maybe. Great thought.
There aren't any 'heaters' in bifacial panels. They merely can collect solar from front and back.
Keep up the good work sir 👏 👍
Follow up comment. Cruised over to Amazon and went whoa when I saw the price. Only $1299 for all that performance. Great deal!
That is a great price.
Excellent test of its capabilities. Ticks a lot of boxes I think. I wonder how it would do pulling a trailer? Perhaps one of flexible solar panels to help extend that range.
I plan to try a game cart trailer for hunting. Stay tuned to see how it goes.
Couple hundred dollars of bees for free.
Yep!
I'd be more worried about a flat tire 36+ miles into the desert without any cell phone coverage! Put 16oz of FLAT OUT Kevlar liquid (8oz if using mountain-bike sized tires) into EACH of your fat tires and you won't have to worry about that problem at least. Good real world test of the Eahora!
Great idea!
I get my second one tomorrow, i bought one last December and i love this bycicle, i only were able to a 20 mile ride so far because of weather, my wife loves too ,so we decided to get another one for the memorial day weekend, we gonna ride this bycicles all day long ,i will post again about my experience with it.
Sounds like fun. Good luck!
Great video. I have a question, though. Since you times were already in the controller you did not have to actually set them. How do you do that? Do you use the other buttons to increase or decrease the amount?
You are correct. To adjust the setting, you will use the up arrow to increase time and the down arrow to decrease time. Thanks for watching.
Love swarms!!!!
Is this the 48 volt version or 52 volt?
48 volt
What is a Swarm Trap? A perfect home box for bees? They prefer white color? Or reflects heat for more comfortable hive? Thank you.
another day of saving the Bheeez.
So you lured/stole them from someone else?
Bees do what they want for the most part. Sometimes if they get too big for a hive they will split and swarm like this. I do my best to provide them a good home.
What a silly thing to say lol. It’s not like a dog goof
Very cool. Saving bees saving money saving Ag Much appreciated.
glad to see people who understand this beautiful necessity
that’s crazy
Bbbeeeeeeesssss
Dam I thought you were killing them all at first😅😅😅😅my bad
What is powering your tracker? I keep seeing hooking up car batteries and I don’t even want to mess with this if that is the only way to power it. Isn’t there a way to run it on DC and collect from the panels to power?
It is being powered by my battery bank. When I ran the wires for the solar, I also ran a 14/2 wire back to my batteries so I didn't have to do a separate battery to power the tracker like others have done. Seemed clean and simple to me. Thanks for watching!

The REAL LESSON HERE is how Manufacturers LIE! Especially with Batteries! Sorry all of us not seeing the Springs. I've bought an eBike from Biktrix. This company puts their pedals to the test as REAL TIME PROOF what their eBikes and batteries will travel. Thx for sharing this journey.
Bird couldn't let go lol
Beautiful countryside. Thanks. CANNED food? Guess weight was not a consideration. Buy the book "FREEZER BG COOKING by Sarah Kirconell (sp?) I have an E-CELLS Super MonarchCrown E-MTB from Pahrump, Nevada. 2 wheel drive, 2 batteries, dual suspension, 9 torque sensing pedal assist levels, very good quality components like SAMSUNG batteries and Shimano Deore gear system. Love it for hunting and trail riding in Nevada.
I will check it out. Thank you!
someone needed power....while up a tree...
Something large (bear? Mountain lion? Large raccoon ?) charged through it, breaking it, and carrying it up the tree.
Who cares why posted
Who cares? Who really cares?
I care. I would love to know how something managed to cut the wire and get the wire up 15 foot.
Luv ya
Thank you. I appreciate it. @@waterbottle4782

Sasquach, for sure.
Bear or a mountain lion.
You shocked the local squash
Shocking!
