Backtracking limiting angle

[Mohammed Abou Ghadir]

Hello, I am using single axis tracker with backtracking for my project, i limited the tracking angle to +- 60 as shown in the image i attached, I have read that you can edit the angle from the backtracking menu from tools in the shading scene but could not find. In the results you can see that backtracking angle is +-79, can i limit it to 60 or how does this work?

Thanks

The tracker will always stay within the mechanical limit, in your example this would be +- 60°.

If the backtracking limit angle is larger, this just means that the trackers will stay at + or - 60° until the sun is so low that they need to backtrack to avoid mutual shadings.
