thanks for catching that for me, it's corrected now.
as for fixed mounts compared to trackers, a fixed mount is simple and will never brake down unless a bolt or weld brakes, where trackers have have moving parts, and they need to have some way to know where the sun is, sensors can get pooped on by birds, blocked by snow or dirt, damaged by lightening, motors wear out, pivots are a weak point as well, with our system we figured that our output per dollar spent would be the same if we got a tracker or a few more pv, and that the pv is going to last longer then a tracker, oldest pv we have are 25 years old and still working perfectly.
