How simple can steerable panels be made? Obviously mechanical steerage introduces weak points. Nothing is without cost.


Pivot mounts stopped making sense when panels were around $10/watt. They're around $1/watt now. Don't bother.


so if you want to capture both early morning and late afternoon sun, and maximise return during the peak of the day, simply install more panels, some upright, and some at the right slant to achieve your goals?
