I was thinking that if you're up to it - and you certainly appear to be - you could mitigate a lot of the heat load your house experiences by shading the house with the solar panels.
That would sharply reduce how much air conditioning you need. Sure, you give up a lot of power generation by foregoing tracking, but I think you get it back in reduced weathering on your roof, reduced cooling load, etc.
