Put nuts on both sides of flange to hold the bolts in place when setting them in wet concrete

@Makesomethingworthmaking 5 месяцев назад

@johndboran Месяц назад

Yeah, anybody with half an inclination towards mechanical proficiency would have done that automatically. I also noted the round washers on the square portion of the carriage bolt... Did this set up come with instructions?

@deviousd1871 10 месяцев назад

One of the best parts of this video is that the camera angles you used, allowed us to see the fixed mounted panels as well. So we got a real time visible comparison. 👍🏾 It would be cool if it was the same number of panels and the same quantity of panels, with the view of actual wattage in a Time-lapse. But that’s not possible. I’m saving this video. Thank you.

@niteline42 6 дней назад

A video that turned out helpful. I was more interested in the way made the base, today I was able to do the same since tracker showed up! Only change, I didn't use washers on the bottom. I put a flange nut on the bolts under the base and used the washer and nut on top to hold bolts in place while setting into concrete. It not only held the bolts but also kept the crete from seeping though the holes on top the base to cause issues later. Thanks for the vid!

My neighbor was building one last time I was at camp. Should of asked him about finding solar north vs magnetic north for my passive solar cottage. Around 12-13* off from magnetic north in Central U.P. Make sure it is well grounded being on a hill. Seth at land to house had to put jumpers on his panels for ground. Tested by a continuity tester.

@OffgridwithJayandJen 11 месяцев назад

Interesting.....is it silly to think with the unit being all metal and connected to a 4 foot concrete block in the ground.....would that ground it? Or is a metal grounding rod necessary?

@jjorstad18 6 месяцев назад

I did some testing with having the long actuator on the east side (then have to switch the 2 wires for the actuator so east/west goes the correct direction when commanding on the controller) this gives you more tilting angle to the west 53° then to the east 35° (i have woods to the east so it works better for me to get more angle in west sky). With it on the west side, it is almost even angle, west 45°\ east 50°. I have also replaced the short actuator with another the same length as the long actuator, moved the bracket back 1 hole on the north/south mount, drilled new hole and installed rivet thread sert, retracted actuator, tilted all the way south and drilled 2 new holes with rivet thread sert. Now it can tilt all the way south and a good angle to the north. I have also seen people putting the north/ south cross strut on the top of the east/west strut instead of under it.

@alanblyde8502 6 месяцев назад

With out a doubt tracking more useful, we’ve had a duel axis running 9 plus years, I recently put in a north facing array aswell, unless you have a very large battery bank solar production from first light to last duel axis surpasses static arrays, I can attest from that. 🇦🇺 P/s our system uses duel slew drive combination not linear actuators. Can handle any wind thrown at it.

@careymendoza5306 4 месяца назад

I was hoping that when you made this video that you would do a step-by-step assembly video so that I could see that. I’m thinking about buying one but on Amazon there’s a lot of people that have been putting in reviews that their directions are just horrible and a lot of people have been struggling with that. It’s too bad that you didn’t do a step-by-step. I was looking forward to some thing like that. But thank you for the video that you did make I appreciate it.

@OffgridwithJayandJen 4 месяца назад

I'm considering making that video....just getting a feel for what you guys want to see.

@chronobot2001 Год назад

Solar trackers make more sense if you need additional power but you don't have enough space to add more panels or if the cost of panels is extremely high. Today panels are relatively cheap and it looks like you have lots of space. Adding more panels is probably the more cost effective solution to get more power. Adding more panels is less complex and there are no moving parts to fail. Regardless, trackers are interesting. Great video.

@OffgridwithJayandJen Год назад

Good points.....there are definitely pros and cons to each situation and option. Being a, simple is better, kind of guy I appreciate that, but at the same time this system really capitalises on making the panels be as efficient as possible in a small amount of space. Thanks for watching. 😊👍

@fullsleevetats 16 дней назад

@OffgridwithJayandJen 8 месяцев назад

I Completely Agree....considering the cost of traditional racking or panel systems having this one that also tracks the Sun for similar cost it very nice. I have seen others set this system up with Four larger Panels, Rather than the six they included in our set up....but I would go with what ever allows the Most Wattage Available. Best wishes

@johnh7627 Месяц назад

Nice tracker. Next time go with higher volt "house panels" like 36v or better, using higher voltages at lower amperage you get a much more efficient system, smaller wires, lower cost, more KW at lower wear and tear on components like inverters. Those small "off grid" or "12-18v RV Panels" are really in-efficient and really expensive per watt and just drive amperage up if wired wrong causing excess wear. I just bought 375w panels for $90 each, and they are 36v~10amp. 6-8 of those with a Growatt SPF6000T high volt offgrid inverter and a 48v LIFEPO battery (heated for cold areas). Going bigger costs more, but when you outgrow the small stuff, you waste $$ piecing together expansion, going bigger may cost 30% more, but produces 2-3x more KW. Also oversizing your battery can make sure it lasts you 15-20 years instead of 8-10 due to over cycling. EG4 Has some nice options, but rather than going with their small 5KW, consider the 14KW, costs less/kw, lives longer.

I mean cutting the tree that's shading your pannels would also be a good start on solar gain.

@OffgridwithJayandJen Год назад

Lol. Ya true. The truth is I would cut it down if I needed to. But the only time of year it shades the panels is summer months....and we get enough hours to fully charge our battery bank as it currently is. This additional solar array will really help us a ton in the winter months when sunshine is limited. Like I said....I really like these pines here for the shade and if they caused us issues year around I would cut them down.

@toddwheeler1526 10 месяцев назад

Always cast your concrete in the hole. The Sono tube is just a form for the exposed portion of the foundation. Wet the walls of the hole prior to pouring. Leave the Sono tube on for at least 7 days. A foundation like this should have rebar reinforcement. Never do that "DRY POUR" crap unless you like wasting money and time. The water to cement ratio is critical especially for bag mix. Stuffs made to minimums for cost savings.

Ya for a couple months during peak summer the top row is covered for a few hours in the morning....BUT the whole system gets fully charged in about 4-5 hours later in the day, so I don't worry about it. The Shade they cast elsewhere is my favorite spot to sit and stare at my cabin. During the shorter days of the year and winter the tree does not shade them due to the sun being lower on the horizon. This new array will be a huge help come fall and winter months.

It's on there....we showed it

@alandavis1127 4 месяца назад

Great video! How did you get the clamps to work properly? I cannot get them to bind anything to the rails.

@OffgridwithJayandJen 4 месяца назад

They were a little tricky at first for me.....but you had to make sure they were turned the right way as you started the threads into the clamp that slide in the channel. Hard to explain...but if you mess with it for a but you should see how it works.

@alandavis1127 4 месяца назад

Thanks. Figured it out. The pre-assembled nut in the plastic piece was upside-down AND the picture in the instructions, and on the ecoworthy youtube video are wrong. @@OffgridwithJayandJen

I didn't see you put any rebar in your concrete to keep it strong and intact. I sure hope you did or you might find your rack and panels laying on the ground after your next big wind!

@OffgridwithJayandJen Год назад

Maybe.....Guess we will see. I do have a ton of wind up here so it will be put to the Test. 😊

@paulslocomb6805 6 месяцев назад

Have you given any thought to adding a ground turbine or a regular wind turbine ??

@OffgridwithJayandJen 6 месяцев назад

Trying to find a good one

I wonder how well it will work in the winter and freezing temps. Also if you get a lot of snow looks like the tracker will be pushing into the snow unless you shovel it out a lot or leave it in a fixed position. I have been thinking about one of these for my camp just seems like a lot to go wrong with it in colder weather?

@OffgridwithJayandJen Год назад

I can see your concern....but honestly don't think the snow or cold Temps will have much effect on it. It is high enough off the ground and solar in general works better I cooler Temps. Also the battery that controls if uses very little energy so it should last and you could charge it is needed. Because it tracks the sun with a sensor it should remain at a steeper angle in the cooler months.....which should shed the snow well. Our current array is about the same height and never have an issue with snow piling up too high.

Did the washer buried in the concrete sink to the bottom with the head of the bolt?

@OffgridwithJayandJen Год назад

They probably were not really necessary, but my thought was it couldn't hurt, lol. But I feel they could be good insurance if the bolt did decide to slide at all. We were just hit with a pretty bad storm that took out lots of trees and the new array survived through it

I like what you did. 😊 Some help though, 0:53 The sauna tube only Hass to go into the hole a couple inches. The shape of the hole should fill with Concrete to make it more stable. 2:58 You don’t have to mix the concrete. You can dump it in dry. 3:09 Make a template out of cardboard or plywood to sit on top of the concrete. 🤔

@OffgridwithJayandJen 10 месяцев назад
