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...

RJ, you have an adjustable system.... why not measure the amps flat vs optimal tilted into some low batteries.
I have done that several times, and under several conditions, and using kinda crude measurments, I always come up w/ the same conclusions,..... that I would need near double the watts if laying flat....zero track/tilt. But I am "true tracking", not just tilting. My mount has skew built into it so I can track the sun's arc at any time of the year, and any place.
Purpose of the question, to gather others thoughts on it. But it seems there are few if any doing "true tracking" except those that are prop tracking w/ portable panels.
