[RE-wrenches] PV Tracker - Best available?

[Starlight Solar Power Systems]

Hello Eric,

With the low cost of PV solar modules, I would like to know why anyone would choose to track the sun? It cost's much more and is a maintenance issue compared to adding more PV modules to make up the difference. Tracking winter gain is about 10% and summer about 40%. If there is no space available for more PV it makes sense if you must have more production.

Given 310# snow load in the Sierras, what are some suggestions for a superior pole-mounted tracking system? Right now I'm considering DHSolar, but I'm unfamiliar with the product.
