Tracking vs flat panels
Hi All;
I've been out of commission for awhile so forgive me if the subject was covered. I couldn't find anything in my search.
I am preparing a 30 foot 5th wheel trailer for long term snowbirding. We have a campground membership that provides utilities but I would like to spend time away from RV parks as much as possible.
400 watts of PV seems adequate for my needs. I could simply slap four panels on the roof and be done with it. But I have all this aluminum, CNC equipment, and an inherent desire to complicate things as much as possible.
Has anyone built a solar tracking array for an RV? Since weight is important I am trying to balance the array framework against another panel or two.
I am not keen on the idea of putting the array on the ground - too much set up and risk of damage.
Thanks;
Doug
