Near-north Ontario, French River | We have 4 dual axis trackers. We are part of a co-operative , with the co-op doing the build/maintenance. We have had some minor issues with two of our trackers, mostly related to the east/west motors ( the one that rotate the panel, not the ones that tilt it ) . Had one circuit board get fried as well, no idea what caused that but I suspect a power spike. So far everything, to the best of my knowledge, has been covered under warranty. I wouldn't be afraid to put up a dual axis tracker on my own, with one caveat , that it is designed by a reputable company. When solar first 'hit" Ontario, an installer popped up on every street corner hawking the latest greatest systems. Problem was most of these guys didn't do their research and simply bought the cheapest components and tossed together systems to make a quick buck. Three yrs into the solar boom and most of those early guys are long gone(bankrupt) leaving many dissatisfied customers with broken systems, unable to get replacement parts or even anyone to service them. Do your research and don't skip on components and you will be fine. |
