    Worth it if you've got limited space. Otherwise for the price these days more panels is the simpler solution (you can aim them in different directions to get the tracking effect).

    "Dave Sparks" (does off grid solar powered systems in the California Mountains very much likes trackers because they give more hours of sun per day to recharge that battery bank (batteries can last longer with lower peak charging current and more absorb time):
