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.

Benefits

  • 40% higher efficiency than the fixed and roof mount systems in producing Electicity
  • Higher return on investment
  • No building permit required

Drawbacks

  • Dual 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.
