This Page is to say thank you to those who have bought my Trackers and or Sensors etc
If you have photos of your diy tracker, or any info you wish to share with other amp-grabbing enthusiasts like myself, using my sensors or actuators, simply send me a photo or two and your thoughts ok. And they will be posted here.
If you have a web site of interest to the DIY people and have bought sensors or a tracker from me, include your web address and I will add a link to it for you from here.
If I have you on this page and you did not wish to be, please email dave@campatracka.com and you will be removed ok.
I have so many emails and phtots from customers I may have put you here in error.
Have a peep at this for clever setting up of a DIY solar tracker system....
You will see a couple arrows on the photo... why did I put them there? read my thoughts below to see why. if you can't see why.!
If you never spotted it, Gordon has really applied some thought and common sense here. The first clever thing is, as I try to tell people, he has the trackers loaded and designed to keep the sail-area low. Less height equals less wind drama for your array. He even dug a small hole to get the most out of his tracker. See the left arrow.
Secondly, he has again used logic and spaced his panels so heavy wind can break through, between the panels on the same array. A gap, by the looks on the photo of about 50mm. This helps break down sail area more than you might think. So if building a tracker, or just mount stationery panels, use some of the logic Gordon has applied here.
You will also see in the 2nd array, to right, he has mounted the two larger panels side ways, again to break down height, again, less wind area.
Gordon, is using my Axetracka sensors and heavy-duty 36v actuators. The sad part is, my 24v sensor crapped out on the man. But I have of course replaced them. Gordon will be test driving my new Sensors, still being designed, using SSRs or Solid state relays. See, be nice to me if my sensor dies and you end up with a freebie to test drive. Communications without agro goes miles with me. Sometimes......
Below are a couple links to Gordon's web sites... If into all things Astronomically speaking, stars etc, and very kool photography, visit his sites at
Loomberah
And Loomberah weather
I will of course add to Gordon's listing here as the new sensor gets a run on his trackers. He is kindly sending more photos of the construction of his trackers. So drop back often as I add to this and other pages ok.
And my thanks to Gordon.
I will continue adding peoples DIY to this and other pages when time permits. If you have built a tracker or heater dish tracker using my sensors etc please send in a couple photos and any thoughts you may have to share with others.
Remember, if you want people to be able to ask you questions please advise me in your msg that you want this done. otherwise I will not put your contact info on the pages.
And remember to,
Smile, Damn it.....!
