Lorentz tracker info [RE-wrenches]

[Matt Tritt]

Jay,

and Bob - - -  Lorentz will sell equipment to anyone willing to take the 
risk. They have been after us for over a year now to carry their 
trackers, but I just can't bring myself to do it. Why you ask? Lorentz 
is a Chinese company (owned by a very personable German guy), and as 
such, if "something goes wrong" you don't just send it in for a fix

 I have heard from a fellow wrench that they are, in his words, 
"clunky", and prone to electronic failure. But man are they cheap!

Another comment I have heard is that the bits and peices that make them 
up are pretty crude. This probably doesn't really matter that much if 
you're putting in one, but if it's a big array it could be a real 
problem for you and your crew. I mentioned to Bob quite a while ago that 
we were considering this line, but I think we'll probably stick with 
Wattsun, as well as the smallish, but expensive, Monoflo GPS-based 
trackers that are part of our Monoflo solar pump offering.
