Tracker Systems Solar panels are mounted on a Deger tracking device, which follows the sun to produce maximum energy production per day. The Deger dual axis trackers have the capability of approximately 40% greater efficiency than a fixed or roof mount system or an average of 5.6 - 6 hours of sun per day.
Benefits40% higher efficiency than the fixed and roof mount systems in producing Electicity Higher return on investment No building permit required
DrawbacksDual Axis tracking systems are more expensive than fixed systems. Thus, you must feel confident justifying the risk with the improved performance. We recommend planning on $500 per year for maintenance (in order to retain a 20 yr. warranty on the tracker system a maintenance visit is required twice per year.) Due to the fact that trackers have moving parts, there is always a wear factor. Wind and snow load damage can occur if winds exceed the manufacturer's maximum wind and snow load ratings. Inverters are not covered by a 20 year warranty. If your panels become dirty they will drop in production
*Note: The warranty on all systems allow for approximately a 1% drop in the productivity of the panels per year.
