[RE-wrenches] Residential tracker options

[Andrew Truitt]

Sulas <http://www.sulasindustries.com/> is pretty new, but I've heard good
things.  The concept is similar to Zomeworks, but they use paraffin wax
instead of whatever fluid Zomeworks uses (freon?) with the intention of
avoiding reliability issues while maintaining the simplicity and positive
economics of passive actuation.


- Andrew



"Don't get me wrong: I love nuclear energy! It's just that I prefer fusion
to fission. And it just so happens that there's an enormous fusion reactor
safely banked a few million miles from us. It delivers more than we could
ever use in just about 8 minutes. And it's wireless!"

~William McDonough
