Simple Solar Question (kinda of a Poll ?)
If I have 200 watts on a polar mount now, and I track the Sun thru the day,....moving at least 3 - 4 times a day,......sometimes every hr if not doing anything any better, about how many watts would I...

I don't know if my terminology is the same for us all.
When I say "tracking the sun", I'm talking keeping the sun perpendicular w/ the panels, or maybe better defined as the panels shadow directly behind the dish ?
I doubt that is the same as "tracking w/ fixed tilt"
Is the difference coming into play here ?
From what I have seen, I'm getting double the AH in a day by "tracking the sun", verses laying flat.
When I go south this winter, I doubt I'll see those percentage numbers change by much. But maybe I have much more to learn.
