I have this unit. It has one dc motor for horizontal movement and one for vertical movement. The problem is you don't get the same degree of movement each time you put in the same delay time for on/off.
If the motor was a servo you would get accurate degrees of movement. I have tried to remove a motor assuming it just screws in. It doesn't budge. My idea is to try to replace the installed dc motors with a servo.
Does anybody know of this type of solar tracker with installed servos instead of dc motors? Or can the dc motors already installed be screwed out with sufficient force. I can then try to replace with a servo motor.
I have contacted an Australian supplier of this unit who has yet to reply.
Seems like your changing the problem, rather than addressing it !
Which unit? Post a link to the product page.

A servo is a DC motor with positioning. Weren't you having trouble programming these servos before? Coding problem with 2 servo motors in your Solar Tracker? Sun motion in degrees
