Now this is an inovative way to have LOTS of solar
Hi, I think this is brilliant. I probably can't afford it--but it is a WOW. https://www.facebook.com/techinsider/videos/vb.352751268256569/685474981650861/?type=2&theater

Neat form, probably a conversation piece in any neighborhood.
If I had to guess, there would be a mechanical problem within a month. And probably more during it's use. That is a complex mechanism and it will be in the weather.
The 40% efficiency increase is what I've heard tracking brings.
I am getting more serious about installing solar, here, at the S&B. I would probably end up with a ground mount for part of the array (or all). I looked at tracking and it seemed too expensive for the gains involved. Tilting, though, brought a good increase and is easy to accomplish. I can envision a tilt frame that would be easy to adjust. Manually, it could be done a few times a year.
