Https youtu be yxqnydst9fw learn how to build this diy solar tracker by downloading the plans below.
Diy solar panel tracking mount.
Mother s dennis burkholder develops a 34 49 solar tracker that works better than some 200 units we ve seen.
This allows a nice flat place on which to mount the panel.
Each 2 x 4 board is as long as the solar panel is wide and was attached to each end of the 2 x 6 with screws and bolts.
I attached small pieces of angle iron to the holes on the end of each panel and then screwed them to the wooden frame.
Paint and sand the copper and pvc pipes.
We hope you enjoyed our article and video on creating a portable solar tracker.
Attach the brackets to the pipes and secure them with gear clamps.
After the frame is built and the panel is attached the linear actuator and sensor need to be installed for the unit to properly track the movement of the sun.
This is a substantial gain but we simply couldn t afford a self tracking mount which would have been more than 1 000 for one large enough to house all our panels.
