I’m 65 and have listened to too many UA-cam video presentations, but you are absolutely hands-down the best instructor and communicator. I even enjoyed your short stent on auger operation using your tractor :-) A+ and great job! Seasons Greetings and Merry Christmas to you & Family.
Great video. The the video link in the qr code does not work so I found this super useful. Thank you for the step by step instructions. Very easy to understand.
Very good wealth of assembly details! Excellent work man. My only question was about the height of the anemometer. I understand that it should be higher, as the wind gusts are different at the height of the tracker vs. close to the ground.
👌 Hello ! Thank you for this interesting video. Please a few questions: What maximum weight can this tracker support? And can I install on this support 2 or 3 photovoltaic panels each measuring 2000 x 1150 mm for 27 kgs (i.e. 78.74 x 45.27 inches for 59.52 lbs)? Just a note: wouldn't it be a good idea to place the cylinder motor at the top to prevent rainwater from seeping in? Many thanks again! 👍 Best regards Daniel from France
Good video. I also watched a video from Tony's Tractor and he put post D on the north side and you put it on the south side. I'm not sure which is correct since I haven't started assembly.
Installing mine now...part B fits into the post with zero tolerance... it barely moves. The actuator will NOT be able to move it . all the paint is scraped off already... it's basically stuck and I don't even have the nut on. Not a good start.
I do not trust the short bolts stuck into the concrete. I used 9" all thread into a base then, I welded them to another plate which I buried 6" below the concrete surface. The threads stick out 2-3 inches above the concrete and I double nutted the mast -one above and one below so that I could LEVEL the mast. THis is how street light poles are done in this area, I have no issues with my mast moving!! ENJOY.
The only thing i see is the short bolts that you pushed into the cement and there's nothing on the ends of the bolts like big washers or a piece of steel with holes drilled holes for the bolts to go through. With nothing on the ends of the bolts and you get a windy day with the solar panels on it them bolts will pull out of the cement and damage your solar panels. I like the rest of your video it was helpful
I have added tennis balls to the struts at the end of the panels to protect my head, they protrude and are sharp. I also used the white triangles that the panels were shipped with to glue to the corners of the panels so that you cant hit the corners of the panels. They are at head height and moving up and down now and then, baby proofing the array only saves you a trip to the ER. I found that the E W actuator had to be reversed to work correctly and the solar sensor had to have the cable come out the SOUTHERN side of the array, in contrast to the video, just saying. My controller is mounted to horizontal to read it easily inside a gasketed box, to avoid any weather issues and allow easy setting and reading, enjoy Woody N4MQ
I suggest that all the panels be mounter BEFORE installing the sunlight sensor. One less thing in your way. MOUNT ACTUATORS WITH THE MOTOR ON TOP, WATER GETS PAST THE SEAL OTHERWISE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL PREVIOUS FAILURES DUE TO WATER. i HAD ALSO TRIED DRILLING WEEP HOLES AND THAT DID NOT ASSIST THE ISSUE. wOODY
Thank you so much! Eco worthy’s video is trash (they tried) had this in a box in the barn at my off grid property and weather finally good enough to start.
I’ve got it pretty much assembled but one major question… for the life of me I can’t seem to figure this out. Should the main post stickers be facing the direction or away? Like mine is oriented so that the sticker that says south is pointing south. So the south sticker is behind me looking south. Does that make sense? Or should I be reading the compass looking through the post.
Perfect I think mines right! Wish I could attach a pic to my comment. I drilled my expansion bolts so if I did need to switch it wouldn’t be devastating.

This the best setup vid for eco-worthy
Excellent video my friend.. I was just sent this Solar tracker as well and getting ready to set it up..
Nice 👍
The battery powering the tracker needs its own panel to charge it correct?

Yes, correct
I really like this video and I super love that he left in some of the mistakes I find that stuff even more helpful❤😅
Glad you liked the video Thank YOU so much for watching
A great tutorial! Thank you for this.
The short actuator must be mounted on South side (p.11 in the manual).
The manual on this thing sucks.
Great video ! Have you got a video on how to hook up the PV cables to the each of the panels ?
yes check out my short videos

Did you set to true North instead of magnate North???

contact ecoworthy that is not good my friend
after many attempt to contact Eco-Worthy, they have responded by sending me a new post that's due to arrive tomorrow
@@TaddyDigest It took awhile to get a response, but they are sending me a new post. Can't wait to get back at it
ok, how about on rv roof?

@woodyw6933 I am with you on this. It is a ridiculous way to do it. He obviously is not that great with construction.

Hello, do you have the dimensions of parts A, B, C and D?
Thank you so much. Superb videos
Hi, I would also like to know the dimensions of B-Rod, thank you
So i got one of these, but the top mouts are just TO SMALL for my 6 panels... I was only able to fit 3 =(
Pretty sweet!
Did your concrete base work out?
Just wondering how big I need to go, Thanks - great video
yes still holding strong today
@@TaddyDigest right on, thanks
Do they have a solution for flat roof dual axis ttackers
I'm not sure that's a good question
I'm not sure but that is a good question
Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think you are installing part B incorrectly. The actuator needs to be on the south side.
yes that is correct
Man, ready 2 b cheap assistant:) I’m good in solid concrete 😂😂😂

Umm, what is a 2x10 again?

Once you get it all together, you will know the right direction
The south should face south
I had to swap mine around
Perfect I think mines right! Wish I could attach a pic to my comment. I drilled my expansion bolts so if I did need to switch it wouldn’t be devastating.
this is way too much work - rv life making me lazy
