How to Care for your Tracker
From initial design through a decade of operation, AllEarth Solar Trackers are built to supply high performance with minimal operating and maintenance requirements. We design our product with minimal complexity and service demands. As with any mechanical device, basic maintenance will keep your tracker running smoothly.
We stand behind our trackers and are confident that they are the most reliable dual-axis systems available today. We back this up with our limited warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship.
If you have any questions about the operation or performance of your tracker system, your first step is to reach out to your local dealer/installer. As our trusted partner, they’ll help you assess your tracker’s status and guide you through any potential servicing steps, including warranty replacement.

Above and beyond this, for best operation, it’s great to do a visual inspection or a simple walk around your Tracker. Look for anything that may have changed from last time and check:
- Is the tracker moving every few minutes during the daytime? Be aware that the tracker may remain flat and immobile if it’s responding to weather events such as high winds or sub-zero temperatures.
- Does it appear to be correctly aligned towards the sun? If the tracker appears to be out of alignment, wait overnight for it to reset, and observe whether the problem has corrected itself.
- Are there any obstacles or vegetation that could block its movement, or have nearby trees grown taller so that they shade the panels from the sun?
- Are there any loose wires or connections?
- Is there any hydraulic fluid leaking around the hydraulic tubes and hoses?
- Are there any chips or cracks in the panels or frame?
If you see any problems or notice anything that is unusual, please contact your dealer/installer.
