Well, examining the other threads on a 'virtual tracking' search yielded little besides mentions, and explanations, no numbers. I've only scratched the Google-sphere on this topic. So, another request for pointers to analysis, case studies, simulations is probably called for. That said, it might not be needed. The graph in Bruce's post #10 does just about all I need to see. Enough to motivate me to use PVWatts to check out a few specific scenarios anyway. Any other tools that would be quick and useful? What is 'SAM'?
Bruce - Thank you so much for that perfect graph in post #10. You know I'm interested in the location, configuration, etc. I'm pretty sure that at some point in my burrowing I saw you have a website resource where I can get more of your stuff. If so, would you mind re-mentioning it here?
Told you in my intro post that I love me some homemade trackers. The more Rube Goldburg the better. If I had the space for a single axis tracker array, I'll bet I could rig something practical for my own use, maybe even with some seasonal tilt. Would probably get many multiple demerits if I ever wanted to sell it.
