Yes, but you need to be quite persistent with pressing two buttons
simultaneously. I have not been able to get it in manual mode. They do
make a manual tracker that you can adjust in about 20 seconds with a
5/8" socket wrench. The site has infrequent occupancy so we were trying
to get away from manual adjustments.

Hi Chris,
Can you bypass the automatic control and just make it manual tilt control?

Hi Dave, I am looking for a tracker that the horizontal "tube" runs east west,
so that the modules, when placed in portrait mode, are facing south and will adjust their
tilt angle based upon mostly by the season. They have it so the horizontal tube runs
north south and the module rotate east west following the daily sun. The cannot be
adjusted to account for latitude . At noon, no matter what season they will be flat. It's
no good as you get further north. Hope this makes more sense. Chris

Chris,
Can you restate this, I do not understand. I use alot of these and have
quite a bit of experience with Wattsun, formerly Array tech, formerly
Wattsun. I am also looking for a single axis that is on a 6 inch pole.
Wattsun only makes the 8 inch that needs a back-hoe for lifting. Too heavy
for most offgrid.

Not too long ago there were postings about residential trackers. I put
in a plug for Array Tech, but we are having a very hard time with
getting information on the controller and how to get it to work for our
case. I have moved the sensor every which way but pointing down.......
Their controller comes from the commercial/utility side of the company
and is designed to place as many modules on a foot print and eliminate
shading which isn't an issue if you are putting in one single tracker.
The horizontal axis is north south, and the modules move east west. The
array is a zero tilt which is non optimal for most of the year. Does
anyone know of a single axis tracker that is designed for east west
horizontal axis so the modules can adjust throughout the day and seasons
with the modules facing south? Thank you, Chris Warfel
