Allen, there is a local fellow who manufacturers a tracker (Konza Tracker, http://konzasolar.com/ ) which uses one of the three shadow sensors to keep the tracker oriented. I don’t know what he would charge for just the controller, I’ll cc this to him to see if his could be adapted. His name is Mark Moser, 785/537-5028.

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?
