Sunflower ST8 Solar Tracker Tracks East-West daily (adjust seasonal adjustment manually)
Get a LOT more power out of your Solar Panels! This tracker will increase your solar input by quite a large percentage (30-55%). It follows the sun every half an hour to maximize the efficiency of your panels. Considering the cost of mounting panels properly even on a static mount, this unit is a must buy. For pumping you will get many more hours per day by using a tracker. Efficiency use of tracker depends on the latitude of the region and time of season: in New South Wales at summer time maximum increase of daily energy output is 55%, in Tasmania at winter daily energy gain reduces to 30%. It has some very good features:
We have been testing & using a Sunflower Tracker for a little while. We have noted a marked increase in energy input from our panels. The unit has prooved reliable so far - though did take quite some adjustments upfront. We found the instruction manual for assembly inadeuate - but that may have been due to the fact the manual is designed for the STD12 & we bought the STD16. We recommend people use & buy the STD12 as the larger 16 model needs a very expensive double pole mount at the bottom. Each tracker needs a mounting pole that you supply. The 2 poles needed for the larger STD16 make the unit too expensive to install & two smaller units would be a better option. We also found that support reply emails took too long & were not informative. For now we are selling this tracker at a lower rate than the manufacturer and will provide better support for our customers. Other units available (from 2 - 16 panel models available)
