Yes, that would be the ticket.

Hmm Chris,
How far south? Like the equator?

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,
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
