    Re: Mecasolar Tracker...

    Did you do the math on the trackers beforehand? It seems that for $30 000 at a price of $2.3/W you could have bought 13kW more panels on static mounts.

    As it stands you have 15kW, so the trackers would have to give you about 85% more output than static mounts to make economic sense.
