Hi Arklan

My uncle always said to wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which one you fill up first, satirical but true.

It would be nice though but would need a bigger lead to the power box to make it work.

All the best

It might help if the seller gets his abbreviations right, 30mW (milli watts) of panels is not much, but I suspect he meant MW (megawatts).

Size does matter.

Deep pockets are a help too.

(Looks like the local buying group will be getting a 40 foot container of panels (624) soon. Just hope the Aussie dollar stays high for a week or three.)

Would people think I was a grumpy person if I suggested the siting a system this size in Canada is a good reason that subsidies should be carefully done.

How much more energy would a system like this make if it was sited where the sunshine is a lot stronger?

If it is really 60 500Kw systems would it be better to site them over several locations?

OK no worries, just thought they might be coming through Sydney.

Just wondering if you were still thinking of building a PV tracker ?
Its just I am interested in the subject.
