ProDave Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 Is that grid tied, or purely off grid just for the pool? Can I see some pictures of the tracker mechanism? I'll bet it was not cheap.
MikeSharp01 Posted September 15, 2019 Posted September 15, 2019 That is some serious windage.... I bet the foundations are humungus.

Impressive watching it pan and tilt all day long though.

We had 40+ knot winds and torrential early last week (you'll have seen the news of flooding in Murcia) and I guess it must also have a wind sensor as it tilted to horizontal and rode out the storm.
