Zomeworks problems [RE-wrenches]

[Travis Creswell, Ozark Solar]

Wow,

$350 for RRP's.  Maybe they increased the price because they work now?  I've
installed RRP's on all of my Zomeworks trackers after the initial
installation of the tracker and have seen no noticeable increase in wake up
time.  It's a little upsetting for the customer (and the installer) to have
a tracker that doesn't track until 10am or so.  "I thought you sold me a
tracker?"
