Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Well Mike, I looked and looked and looked at that website but found no mention of "super simple solar tracker".

Please, when making such an announcement, include the relevant URL so we can find it easily

Its really just a cut & paste job for you whereas I spent 15min looking before I gave up

Hi Gill,

These freon trackers were the go in the 80's. No electrical or mechanical components. They would sway in a wind though.

The tracker mentioned at the start of this thread is not of this type though. I think it refers to a 2 panel system, with a small panel driving a DC motor. This was prototyped with a childrens building toy. Gordon.
