Thanks for the info gentlemen. I've put a DIY anemometer up on a topped tree
(the big green thing) behind the mount area and so far, I'm seeing very little wind.
Even when the local weather stations are showing 10 & 12 MPH, I'm seeing hardly anything at the solar mount.
So, maybe the trees and the slight ground depression is going to make this a safe area for some solar PV panels.




After about 7" of rain, there is No water in the solar tracker hardware
and it's tracking the sun like a champ!
