Could someone provide suppliers for long travel viscous dampers for stabilizing tracking panels from wind gusts? Ideally a rotary damper would work best but pricing for what I have found is out of the question as I have 11 towers to dampen.

Thanks for any and all suggestions.

Cowpoke,

Greentech Renewables sells the Zomeworks tracker, which has an optional high-wind damper. Link here.

If you are building your own tracker, try using a gas spring from a supplier like Grainger.
