<p>No, I'm with you on this.Given the the greatest boost (~+/- 30%)
of daily tracking is during the summer and most stand-alone
applications are winter-peak (where tracking adds at best 10-15%),
seasonal water pumping is about the only time when small-scale
tracking is justified over simply adding array. Any pumping where
the source is slow enough that the length of the day becomes an
important factor, like drip irrigation or a very low yield well or
spring, is worth looking into. But that's about it in my
experience. </p>

<div>I thought since solar PV prices have come down
(understatement), is it not more cost effective to buy more
modules than a tracker? Are there scenarios that the above
would not ring true? (As I remember, off grid water pumping
for livestock ponds may still be an exception as also,
