Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Yes, I think thats the way to go ... A tracker will improve your daily export considerably,,maybe %33 !!.

I'm going to take mine off the partly shaded roof (until 11 am ) ,,so that should help ..
put them up there because the estimator suggested it --took him 5 minutes to estimate my job ,,, quickest way out as usual for these guys ,,,, no ,,,well,if I'd was you I'd put them here ,Bruce ...buggers..

Anyhow ,,for $355 ,I have 6 panels on my roof and I'll be happy with that, the power saver meters at jaycar (3) cost $150 ,,which i get free...

Its a good idea to weigh up the costs of a tracker and the hassle of mounting and maintaining it opposed to just putting the money into getting more solar panels to increase your output by 33% .
