Why not just put the panells in almost 90 degree, (in tropical countries it's possible) and put panels closer, since without trackers you can optimize space ?

It's a
"Make Hay While the Sun Shines" approach, be as efficient as physically possible (by tracking)...but, OH!, those mechanical alignment and wear problems!
