Its too noisy and goes against Opsec. A loud solar tracker defeats the purpose of a silent solar generator. In SHTF when the power goes out, the loud mechanical noise would attract desperate, unprepared people. Ex: Texas and Puerto Rico.

That is true but as panels like this one I used here the Ecoflow 400 watt get more energy dense, a tracker with a single panel becomes more attractive. I am impressed that they even made this, I am sure they know they won't sell a ton but like Tesla it's nice that they are breaking some new ground

I bought 1,360 watts of generic solar panels for about $1/watt. Hooked up in 2S2P, they provide just under 80 volts and 20 amps. These more than easily provide 800 watts to my Ecoflow Max across the day, even during overcast conditions, not being properly angled and/or slight shade without being moved. Far cheaper than the solar tracker that only holds a 400 watt panel. I could get another 2 panels and it would still be cheaper and more resilient in a 2S3P setup.

The solar tracker is cool, but I feel like it needs to be able to mount more solar panels in the same general form factor to be worth the cost. If you could deploy 800w worth of highly efficient tracking panels in a mobile situation, in addition to your rooftop solar, that would be worth it given the small footprint. If your system is big enough to handle that much juice I don't think the cost for the tracker would be a major hurdle.

@mikemotorbike4283 2 жыл бұрын

This would be best for specific use scenarios, ie science expedition, military, reflecting sun off a mirror to explore a deep cave, or to concentrate solar heat on one spot using multiple trackers. When panels weren't as cheap, these were moar cost effective. There are cheaper permanent trackers available for home builds. There's even a DIY non powered design using hydraulic struts, which aim the panel by using the variable heat of the moving sun to expand and contract the struts. I think I read somewhere It doesn't really work, but his cat liked it. Look it up, maybe he listened to his cat and improved it.

This kinda tech is always expensive and buggy at first and if works will mass produce and make them cheaper and better. But yes currently it's better buying a second panel instead of the tracker.

Great review, and thanks for this (I also watched your review on the Delta Pro itself)! Been looking at the Solar Tracker with the Delta Pro as an off grid power source for my Airstream Caravel 19CB. I’ve seen another video say the battery lasted about 7-8 hours with a 5000 btu window unit. Do you think the Solar Tracker combined with the Pro and an Extra Battery would be able to support longer term boondocking? It’s hot where I’ll be, so the AC will definitely be necessary. The Kickstarter has a package with all 3, plus the smart solar generator, and in addition to the Cost the weight is also a consideration (approx. 400lbs altogether).

Solar trackers are absolutely nothing new and there is good reason they never caught on. These are, at best, for portable use. any fixed installation is always going to do better with more panels and no moving parts at all. Moving parts require maintenance any way you slice it. And no way I would believe any solar tracker would be worth it in a bad MA winter.

@VRCommy 2 жыл бұрын

But in an example like at the beginning where a house or trees cast a shadow, the solar tracker doesn’t help at all. It doesn’t have motorized wheels to run away from the shadow, so you still need to set it up in a big open area. And if that’s the case anyway, then as everyone has mentioned, just get another panel, put them back to back or flat, and it’s probably cheaper and just as effective. The Delta Max is so damn cool though 😛👌🏼👌🏼

Otherwise, adding an extra panel gives you that extra output that will last as long as your panels. IMO...most trackers are likely to wear out long before your panels.

@uweschroeder 2 жыл бұрын

I doubt it makes sense for a fixed installation. You can't get more than a few hundred watts of solar panel on there and it costs 4 grand. .So by the end of the day, if you put 10 panels on your roof you'll have a lot more solar power than having one panel tracking the sun - for a much much lower price point. Buddy of mine just bought 16 used 200W solar panels for $600 and mounted them in his yard on 2x4's. Despite the panels being a little degraded, he still gets plenty of power for his well pump, fridge and a couple lights and stuff. So no, I don't think mounting a single high power solar panel on a $4000 tracker makes any sense when you can mount 10 of those for not even half the cost.
