I'm probably going to try out putting some of my panels on trackers.
Since everything that makes up a solar build is sized for peak output. But peak output rapidly peaks then falls off over the course of about 2 hours or less.
I just have to figure out how much it's going to cost.
I can only install 9.6kw with out a major up grade costing as much as a small solar system install, because everything is based on peak expected output.
A normal 9.6kw system would be expected to make around 45 to 50kwh per day around here, a 9.6kw on trackers could make 60kwh, maybe even 70.

I will have to cut down some trees. Okay maybe a lot of trees.
I love how green solar power is.
