Get a 40% increase in watt from your existing solar panels,by using a solar tracker.

Anyone ever heared of solar trackers?

For those who havn't. It is used to track the position of the sun,as it moves across the sky in a westerly direction from dawn to dusk. So it points the solar panel directly to the sun.
That means,a solar panel moumted on a solar tracker,will face towards the east in the morning. Then at 12.00 noon,it will face directly to the sky. At dawn,it will face the west.
You can try this out. I've done it multiple times.. For example,take an 80watt solar panel and place it on the sun. Then connect a meter to its two wires. Set your meter in the amps mode. Read the current flowing and note it. Next,tilt your solar panel to like 40 or 50 degrees away from the sun by placing a big stone or block on one edge of the panels. Note the current. You would notice a 40% or more drop in amps.
This is what happens during the time the sun rises. Like from 8.00am to 10.30am. 40%percent of the solar watt is lost. The loss becomes much with a larger system!
This phenomenon occurs because,from 10.30am to 12.00pm,the sun is still rising from the east and isn't directly overhead. The sun aligns properly with the solar panels,from 12.00pm to 2.00pm. The sun goes out of line and doesn't deliver the whole 100% energy,from 2.00pm to 4.300pm. The efficiency rapidly dwindles during this time.
Never mind the angle you see most solar panels being set at. All those companies claims its the best angle to convert the optimum energy out of the sun. It isn't the optimum. The optimum is to align the solar panels towards the sun at intervals,as the sun keeps moving across the sky!
With a solar tracker,you don't need bother about aligning your solar panels with the sun. The solar does it for you.
Noteworthy is the fact that you would notice a 40% or more increase in your solar panels.

Here's an example of what a solar tracker can do for you.

If for instance,you had a 200watt solar panels that ends up charging only two totally depleted 12v 50Ah battery to the full,on a good sunny day.
With a solar tracker,that same solar panels will charge up three totally depleted 12v 50Ah battery to the full,on a good sunny day.
So that is the optimization i have been stressing about..
