Since we are especially proud of our Star Tracker line of dual axis trackers, and pictures do not show our whole story, we decided to list just a few of the reasons our tracker stands TALL and STRONG when compared to the other, less capable, trackers. Made in USA components including a steel pole up to 20” in diameter and ½ inch thick Our “pick-a-pole” length-option in case you want to mount your array w-a-a-a-y above the ground Super-strong strong-back supplied in three pieces for easier shipping Power Tilt technology for a safer, faster and better installation. This system is awesome! No work within the home design with inverters on the pole, and power connections at the meter Much of the wiring is contained within the steel pole & strong back, providing a nice clean look. Thick 6” C-channel aluminum racking, anodized in the color of your choice Deep foundations that include 1.25” anchor bolts Heavy-duty actuators and slew drives to provide solid and secure tracking for your array Tolland CT based technical support The option of a Made in USA panel, including SunPower panels An array that tracks automatically or can be adjusted manually via remote control.

Solid #2 tin-coated copper wire grounding-ring with three 10’ long ground rods, cad welded. We offer comfort systems that provide heating, cooling and domestic hot water systems that are integrated with and powered by the PV panels on our Star Tracker.
