Mac, which mode is being confused elevation or azimuth. What have you
replaced and what does Jeff Grulic say of Wattsun? 

The photo sensor I
like is the single axis. There really is little need to use the dual axis
for offgrid, in my opinion.

We don't do trackers much but we have a WattSun DuraTrak controller that
has never worked well, we've tried all sorts of tweaks. Its a tougher
location that a lot because there are high snowy peaks that confuse the
tracker I guess.   It seems like something would be out there that would
just use the sun position equation instead of sensors that can be confused.
 Thanks for your input
