My old trick for Wattsun trackers was just to turn them into fixed
racks. Usually the tilt actuator could be hot wired with a 12 v battery
to get summer and winter tilt.

Wrenches,
Array Technologies can no longer support their legacy controllers for
their Wattsun residential trackers. Some internal parts are no longer
available, and of course their business has expanded far beyond small
individual units.
Does anyone know of either an easy replacement or an electronics
service technician who repairs them? Michael, with whom I have worked
and gotten great support for years, had no suggestions.
There are plenty of inexpensive Chinese controllers designed to work
with linear actuators on Ebay. Has anyone tried one on a Wattsun tracker?
Thank you,
Allan
