Hi, It seems to get confused on the azimuth or at least that's what's most pronounced. I've looked at All Earth but it's a full assembly, not really a retrofit using someone else's motors. I have worked with Kyle at Array Technologies, and he's been great, but it's still having issues. I think the big thing is that once it's lost the sun for a while, it's difficult for it to recover, even when the sun comes out. There is a ghost mode that it's supposed to rotate the azimuth at a fixed rate when the sensor is below a certain threshold, but we just don't seem to be able to get it correct.
It's tough to troubleshoot it too. Thanks On Mon, Dec 2, 2019, 9:40 AM Dave Angelini Offgrid Solar < offgridso...@sti.net> wrote: > Mac, which mode is being confused elevation or azimuth.
