API field

Rotation limit (symmetric)

How far a tracker can rotate either side of flat

Unit °

What it is

The mechanical rotation stroke of a single-axis tracker, in degrees either side of flat. The tracker stops at this angle even when following the sun would need more. When the two stops differ, give them as Rotation minimum and Rotation maximum; this value then sets only the magnitude of the one left empty.

Typical values and how to get it

50° to 60° is typical; take the value from the tracker datasheet.
