Wattsun Dual Axis - Systems to track the sun during daylight hours

The panels in a solar energy system function best if they have maximum exposure to sunlight. With the sun moving across the sky during the day, the positioning of the sun changes and the panels don't always have maximum exposure to sunlight unless the panels can move. The purpose of the Wattsun Dual Axis system is to track the sun.

The solar panels need the proper exposure to the sun to absorb the maximum amount of sunlight. This sunlight is then converted to electricity to provide power. When the panels don't receive maximum exposure, they are less efficient, meaning they generate less output. The purpose of the solar tracker is to track the sun during the day and to rotate the solar panels so they are always perpendicular to the sun for maximum energy generation.

The Wattsun dual axis is an azimuth tracker that can control a 2000 watt array. The tracker consists of two parts: a mounting rack and the tracker drive. It uses a heavy duty worm gear motor. The buyer should determine which size tracker he needs. If a tracker is too small, it will not be able to handle the functions it needs to perform.

There are different trackers for different brands and models, and it is important that the individual buy the right tracker for his brand and model of solar panels. The other item that is required is the mounting post and that has to be purchased separately.

The Wattsun dual axis tracker is available from land-based sources and online outlets. The buyer must be certain to buy the correct unit for his solar power system.
