Shortie, tracking for each panel IS expensive and land intensive. To make sense, all panels would have to be on one base, and that base should probably be back yard mounted, rather than roof mounted.
Horizontal (daily) tracking is far more consequential than vertical (seasonal) tracking due to the greater degree of solar movement East to West, than South to North, but a dual tracker can increase daily solar harvesting by 40%, allowing you to use 28% fewer panels for the same solar power harvested: https://www.homepower.com/articles/s...k-or-not-track
