Our customers enjoy building things!  Here are some photos of different solar tracker projects built by MTM Scientific, Inc customers.


This Solar Tracker Project uses a DC linear actuator to move the panels. The controller is mounted inside a weatherproof electrical enclosure. The photos are courtesy of Bill F.

This Solar Tracker was built by Chuck in the Northeastern, U.S.A.  Note the use of a linear DC actuator for the prime mover. The sun sensors are protected using an inverted test tube (photo insert).

Tracking Solar Panel Array


This Solar Tracker is the work of J. Theismann.  Note the fine workmanship on the mechanical details of the tracker assembly.
