I like Array Tek and for offgrid. It is a waste to dual axis track. Less is more! All you need is the array point at the sun with enough tilt to shed snow. Again, Less is more. If it had a failure (and none of mine have) it is still a fixed array until it is repaired. Dave Angelini Offgrid

I agree with Bill & Allan on this,  I worked on my first Zomeworks tracker in '89. Trackers add quite a bit of cost and complication, and if they have a failure, they can actually be worse than a fixed array.  The Array Tech trackers would table top in failure mode, which is not good in the

Bill, Wrenches In most cases space is always an issue, sure modules prices have dropped but top of pole trackers have a place along with large ground mount tracking systems. It will come down to economics of the ROI, 20 to 35% more output for 10% more cost, yes yhere is an increased in maintaince

To All, Seen it first hand with existing Northeast offgrid clients that had old pole mounts with lots of generator usage during the winter months. Added a single 12 module DAT and generator usage was down to as little as twice in the entire winter. Others usage was down to just a handful of times

Bill, No, I'm with you on this.Given the the greatest boost (~+/- 30%) of daily tracking is during the summer and most stand-alone applications are winter-peak (where tracking adds at best 10-15%), seasonal water pumping is about the only time when small-scale tracking is justified over
