ECO-WORTHY Solar Panel Dual Axis Tracking System (Increase 40% Power) with Tracker Controller, Complete Solar Tracker Kit, Ideal for Different Solar Panels, for Yard/Farm/Field

Intended Purpose: Used for site without available utilities. Intended to replace stationary solar panels to increase solar yield. Intended to remove need for a generator. Use to assist 12v Lead Acid battery bank for off grid use. To use with two 400w panels. Expectation(s): Based on price point I expected a medium quality product that would perform adequately. I expected a mildly difficult assembly and install. Expected medium quality components and parts. Initial opinion of product when received: Was pleasantly surprised with shipping speed. Cam in two boxes. Received within five days of placing order. Packaged extremely well. Minor damage to one of the packages but product was unscathed. Product construction was far better than expected. All fasteners were of stainless-steel quality. Fasteners were packaged individually for different milestones of install. Stainless-Steel Unistrut was great quality. Pedestal and moving parts were all powder coated and made of substantial steel heft. All parts were labeled clearly and easy to interpret. Instructions were clear and precise. Pros: Top tier materials used in construction. Product engineering is on point and is evident a lot of time was spent on design. Instructions are complete, clear and comprehensive Actuators are made of quality materials and are quiet when activated. All electrical components of high quality Control is high quality and easy to understand. Very easy to assemble with minimal tools needed. VERY efficient at capturing and increasing sunlight/solar harvest. Great price point Cons: Power supply was not included and had to be purchased separately. Alternative mounting options not available or offered. Final evaluation: I would highly recommend this product for anyone who is adding back up power or off grid power. I immediately noticed and 30-40% increase in efficiency vs my stationary panels. I was able to assemble this by myself in under two hours. Very impressed! Value scale (1=Low – 10=High): 10

Can't argue with what you get for the money. A tracking system for less than 1K is pretty good. I loaded mine with 8x old 50W panels. They crank all day long. My workshop is off-grid and the panels mounted on here are doing WAY better than the 8 you can see in the photo. The pad I mounted it to is 2x2 on the top and goes down 3 feet. Our dirt here is VERY hard and almost like compacted gravel so it's not going anywhere. The good: Easy to put together. Plenty sturdy for our winds with wind sensor. Included unistrut stuff is easy enough. Tracks very well, within its limits. More below. The bad: Stainless hardware requires you to either use anti-seize or watch your torque. It is easier than you would think to make the hardware unremovable. Tracks well but the southern extent of travel is a bit lacking. I am in New Mexico and I don't think it'll actually be able to pull down far enough to actually track 90 degrees to the sun for peak winter. The neutral: Would be nice if the control pad could easily be mounted the correct way. The manual says to keep the wires coming out the bottom and then you have to mount it turned 90 degrees. I am not too concerned about this as it doesn't rain here much but might be a problem in a wetter climate. Build looks a bit loose in the wind but it is holding up great and doing a good job so far. I've had this installed a month now and it is working well. Gets confused on cloudy days but quickly corrects itself when the sun comes back out. My next upgrade will have to be some newer, higher-efficiency panels for this thing. The 400W array is cranking out what it can for power so I'll need to find some of these infamous Chinese super cheap panels in the US to give me closer to 1000W on this backyard sunflower.
