Dual axis solar tracker working with Domoticz!

Post by psubiaco »

I’m using DomBusTracker2 to control the two motors of the solar tracker. It has wind protection, night and morning configurable positions, and can be monitored and controlled easily from Domoticz by using the available plugin.

A nice feature is the tracking by using a light sensor, so when it’s cloudy, panels are oriented to the brighter portion of the sky, to increase the produced power.
Also, as other trackers do, it produces a constant high power from sunrise to sunset, much more than a equivalent fixed installation.
