In this video I move my samsung 130 excavator to a construction site where they are installing a solar system and need a precast base for the tracker system.

Jesse you did a really nice job setting that solar tracker. The music and drone footage gave it some ambience. This channel doesn’t get enough recognition and needs to be seen by more. It would also be nice to see some sponsors get on board so that you can demo more equipment. A true professional at work !!!

Our neighbour Colleen was admitted to hospital here a couple of weeks ago, we were all waiting for her to come back, sadly, she contracted Pneumonia in the hospital and passed away just a couple of days ago. She was a true lady, recently widowed, and a great person, only 78 years young, of Irish heritage, so we are all in mourning here at Hutt City Wellington, New Zealand. Thankyou Jesse.

Jessie, I believe it is easier to have someone hauling around the big stuff, rather than doing it yourself. You know it going to be needed, so it is added into the job bid. Now by doing this, you have no maintenance, license, and insurance needed for that equipment. Plus, these guys wake up every morning wanting to move this stuff, while you are doing something else. So everyone makes a living...

I don't know about the sun tracker....panels have become more powerful and cheaper that many people and businesses opt for more panels in stead of a tracker. Some have more arrays in 1 system facing SW and SE to get maximum sun hours in a day. And some arrays have a (manual) setting for summer and winter. Arrays are maintenance free, exept some cleaning once in awhile and are more reliable (no moving parts, motors and tracker). Suntracker is an option if you don't have enough space for more panels. This just my opinion and everybody can and may disagree 😉👍
@Stubones999
@Stubones999 3 жыл бұрын
A tracker will always give you more power for the same sized panel, since the tracker can follow the peak sun rather than having more panels on different faces of the roof or several panel racks.
@Guust_Flater
@Guust_Flater 3 жыл бұрын
@@Stubones999 Yes....that why I wrote that people would spend the money for their solar system, more towards more panels than less panels + a sun tracker system. For the same amount of money it's more economical to buy more panels. With more panels, some give 400Wh, you quickly make up for the loss in not tracking the sun.
