The solar industry has relied on roofs for the installation of solar panels. I wanted solar but not on the roof, not efficient enough. So my problem was how to not install on the roof. There are fixed ground mounts available and a number of solar trackers, both single and twin-axis. The fixed mount gantry would serve well if you double the number of panels that would normally go on a roof, ie point one frame north-east and the other north-west (reverse this for the northern hemisphere) and this requires more land and more concrete. There are solar trackers(both single and twin axis) available but all are of the same design...ie. A single post and rely on complicated software that searches for the sun. My design was arrived at after many iterations but the requirement was to provide a broader base for the panels to rotate on and the software that operates the device had to be more robust. The design is robust, reliable, cost-effective and simple to install. No custom, proprietary parts. MagniSun trackers are gaining a foothold in the renewable energy landscape. Clients use them on grid-connected systems, hybrid systems, off-grid sytems and agricultural applications looking to run remote equipment.
