Build Your Own Solar Stand: DIY Sun Tracker Tutorial!

Solar stands and trackers are great for those who want to maximize their solar energy production. With a solar stand or tracker, you can ensure that your solar panels are always pointing in the direction of the sun, allowing you to capture the most energy possible.

Building your own DIY solar stand/tracker is a great way to save money and get the most out of your solar energy system. With the right materials and instructions, you can easily construct your own solar stand/tracker in no time. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

• Plywood
• PVC piping
• Nuts and bolts
• Drill
• Screwdriver
• Level
• Tape measure
• Paint (optional)

Now that you have all the materials you need, let’s get started!

The first step is to cut the plywood into two pieces. The first piece should be cut into a square that is slightly larger than the size of your solar panel. The second piece should be cut into a rectangle that is slightly larger than the square piece.

Next, cut the PVC piping into four pieces. Two of the pieces should be cut into rectangles that are slightly smaller than the square piece of plywood. The other two pieces should be cut into circles that are slightly smaller than the rectangle piece of plywood.

Once all the pieces are cut, you’ll need to assemble them. Start by attaching the two rectangular pieces of PVC piping to the square piece of plywood. Make sure to use nuts and bolts to secure them in place. Then, attach the two circular pieces of PVC piping to the rectangle piece of plywood. Again, make sure to use nuts and bolts to secure them in place.

Once everything is assembled, you’ll need to drill holes in the plywood for the nuts and bolts. Make sure to use a level to ensure that everything is even. Once the holes are drilled, you can attach the nuts and bolts and tighten them with a screwdriver.

Finally, you can paint your DIY solar stand/tracker if desired. This will help protect it from the elements and make it look more aesthetically pleasing.

And there you have it! You now have your very own DIY solar stand/tracker. With this device, you can ensure that your solar panels are always pointing in the direction of the sun, allowing you to capture the most energy possible. Building your own solar stand/tracker is a great way to save money and get the most out of your solar energy system.
