Bill, Wrenches In most cases space is always an issue, sure modules prices have dropped but top of pole trackers have a place along with large ground mount tracking systems. It will come down to economics of the ROI, 20 to 35% more output for 10% more cost, yes yhere is an increased in maintaince cost. Jerry

Added a single 12 module DAT and generator usage was down to as little as twice in the entire winter. Others usage was down to just a handful of times required from genny. They are great at shedding snow. Bottom line is generator usage was cut in most cases by 75% or better. I'm a believer here in upstate NY.
