@adrianTNT I seen some around 1w - Dc motors off e-bay.. MAXON DC MOTOR GEAR,MINI,MICRO MOTOR GEAR139885,1.2Watt.. If this Solar Panel Draws more than 1w peak, then there should always be extra power. It is hard to say what motor they used, but if they were smart about it they probably used as small gear motor as possible to get the job done and not require more electricity than this solar panel can provide at worst - close to peak.Remember,the tracker is not moving all the time. Slow movements
I think when it made one complete turn it used twice the energy it makes in a day :)

@luc59457 I know that power consumption for that is not that much, it was just a mean comment :)
Anyway, it probably only adjusts position a few degrees each hour or something like that.
