The foundation of the solar systems on John's trailer. It's called concrete - not cement, reminded CMC instructors to the CMC class of 1990. Cement is just one ingredient in concrete. The pour was small, 8' x 10', well planned and much work. We used a transit to establish proper elevation and excavated a rectangular slab. A plywood form with reinforced corners was built with drywall screws and cross-taped to establish square corners. The sill plate was attached directly to the inside of the...

PHOTOVOLTAIC amp WATER SUPPLY SYSTEMS PO BOX 548 SANTA CRUZ, NM 87567 505 753-9699 I have invested over 9,000 in my solar system. Both my 22 foot travel trailer and my house have their own separate and complete solar system. I now have three banks of eight Arco model M-55 solar panels on the roof of my house. Each bank has its own regulator. Two regulators are the new Trace model C-30A. The first regulator I purchased was the B.O.S.S. model PCU 12-30. If I only had one 100 Amp regulator, rather...
An Active Solar Tracking System
In the spirit of fine home-brewing, this tracker uses cheap ubiquitous parts - a windshield wiper motor and a 555 circuit - as the guts for an efficient machine which keeps panels aimed at the sun. How This Tracker Works Driving a threaded shaft attached to the tracker's underside, the windshield wiper motor is powered by a circuit controlled by two phototransistors which are turned on and off by a shading device. The phototransistors and shading device are mounted on the face of the tracker...
