Unleashing the Power of the Eco Worthy Controller! @EcoWorthySolar

This video is all about how to program the controller for the solar tracker.

There are a few parameters settings that you need to change to fit the conditions and environment where you are.
This will give your tracker system more consistency. Therefore, you will have more efficiency..

I go through troubleshooting and parameter settings in this video..

Not so much space, so mine is installed almost to a fence on its west side. So in the afternoon it starts shading the panels, those that are lower due to the sun tracking. To avoid that i should adjust TX value lower to establish a limit near T5-T11 so it doesn't point further west to avoid the fence shade.

Thanks for a great info video, helped me get mine programmed and up and running!! Thanks!

Thanks for this video. Made it really easy to set up. One thoughts I wonder if the lock time starts once the wind reduces below the V2 threshold. Usually when a storm passes, you’re good. But I could see bands coming thru. After 10 minutes of things being calm it goes back then another strong band comes in and it has to flatten out again. 🤷‍♂️

Wow great video 👍 you are the best Taddy

Your setup looks like moving south will level the panel out. As such, I would assume that actuator should be moved to the other side so that you can actually get South/South-East sun correctly. Changing the wires to make the directions correct is fine for east to west when that's full range of motion, but that degree tilt from south to flat going north is a different cookie.

Tad great informative video
I have a question
I want to change the high wind position to get the tracker vertical and have the edge pointing north.
Hail is our biggest threat here in Texas. I will have a reflective wall behind the tracker so wind will be minimized.
Goin home to flat at night is fine. Thank you for the video information

Excellent. I want one. I wonder how much more anergy you can harvest as opposed to nailing them to a roof. I'm guessing a lot.
This is just my opinion, but I would put pipe insulation on the strut to nerf it where it sticks out at eye level.

Hi. How big is the foundation for the tracker? Have you had any problems with it in high wind? Thanks a lot! Thomas

I believe you're misunderstanding the delay value of the duration of weak sunlight. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you set it for 600 seconds then it will go back to night mode. Because there is no sun. I'm pretty sure that's how long it will wait to see if the Sun appears again if not it will go back flat for night mode. Please reply back and let me know if you think different. Because after 600 seconds mine went flat but once the sun appeared again in the west it started tracking again.

Thanks for the video. Great to see how these get installed. I am curious why in all of the other pictures/videos, the N-S actuator is on the S side of the main pole, yet yours is mounted on the N side. What was the reasoning for this?

[danielmcneely]

I’ve had mine set for about 5 mos, and have a question. Is your tracker backwards? I noticed that it tilts to the north, and I’m assuming you’re in the northern hemisphere where we get most of our sun from the south.

[marginbuu]

Interesting that you have to actually calibrate it for cardinal directions. I would think it would just use its tracker to detect where the sun is the strongesr and move each actuator accordingly to face the panel in that direction.

Do you know what is the diameter of the base on the Eco Worthy single axis tracker?

[claudioaltuni]

Hello, can you give me the parameter settings for germany .... I'm desperate, best regards.

[aflipzkidn]

Do you have a video showing how you hooked up your battery/maintainer to this solar tracker?

[herpderp]

So i just set mine up today. It never seems to go into SA. Says theres 3 modes. SL, SA, and MT. It always seems to be in SL. Whats up? I set everything up right, all wires landed right. Sensors in right places. And exited out of MT mode obviously.

[yaadekarbala]

What type of controller are you using? Please name it.
Is it an open-source controller or closed-source?

[jarinsonplasencia]

Im having trouble with my N, where it does not drive to N. It stays put on wind protection. Any suggestions?

[cashonlyj]

Nope I feel First even when I'm Last in Line.
