Some other info.
IN days of old when Solar Installers were truly bold.. Panels were very "Senistive" to the angle of incidence.. They wanted to look STRAIGHT at the sun.
You can see some big "Trackers" in Las Vegas alongside one of the freeways that were early Solar Installs.
More recently I've been reading of "New Technology" that "Widens" the field of view.. Not sure what they are up to but if you get like 80-90% with the sun off at say 45 Degrees.. Why bother tracking????
Not far from where I am and I'll be passing it in two Tuesdays is a large solar farm.. IT DOES NOT TRACK.
