Most every industrial grade tracker run off of location and time, calculates the required array angle. The core code for this is open source out of NREL (your tax dollars at work). Still over my pay grade to actually integrate this into a home made tracker.

Hi Wrenches,

Does anyone know of a non-sensor based tracker controller that can work with a variety of tracker motors?

We don't do trackers much but we have a WattSun DuraTrak controller that has never worked well, we've tried all sorts of tweaks.  Its a tougher location that a lot because there are high snowy peaks that confuse the tracker I guess.

It seems like something would be out there that would just use the sun position equation instead of sensors that can be confused.

Thanks for your input
