theanalogguy.com light seeking Solar Tracking Motor Control Unit EST1 EST1-10A
theanalogguy.com or the analogguy light seeking Solar Tracking Motor Control Unit EST1 EST1-10A. Apparently, it causes a motor to turn something, presumably a solar panel, to always face the sun. According to the analogguy website, here's the details: The EST1 is a single axis light seeking solar tracker control housed in a weatherproof enclosure. When mechanically affixed to a tracking array and connected to its drive motor, it will allow the array to track the unobstructed sun within a degree. The EST1 can be mounted anywhere on the tracking array as long as it receives unobstructed sun. The correct mounting orientation is with the cable end of the box pointed south. The drive motor or linear actuator must have built-in limit switches. Input voltage range: 10V minimum, 36V maximum. Maximum motor run current: 10A (it can handle short pulses to 20A). They sell for $300, so get it here much cheaper. I assume it's used, but it could be new. Free shipping in the US.
