My question is simply, is that tracker complexity really worth its expense? Sure it can position the panel more optimally and dodge cattle, but really? Just tilt the panels 30 degrees and leave them there.

Makes sense to me. 🌞
This solar farm lets cattle roam under moving panels

@BenjaminHCCarr Keep in mind that there's an inherent contraction in all scales of things (what goes Big Bang, goes Big Crunch), and a vital infrastructure like farming, will only sustain 'flat plain' systems for so long.
This is where evolution to vertical farming is in order.

So much for the claims that solar destroys farmland; as usual, reality is the opposite of what he claims:
'Researchers have analyzed the biomass and nutritional value of grasses and legumes for grazing dairy cattle, growing in agrivoltaics fields. The results showed that forage quality may be maintained or even enhanced in agrivoltaic environments.'

#Agrivoltaics: high returns on investment.
h/t @DoomsdaysCW"From an operations and maintenance (O&M) perspective, the study highlights that sheep are a technically superior tool for vegetation control compared to mechanical mowing.
The solar arrays, in turn, provide a beneficial microclimate for the flock as the shade from the panels reduces heat stress and water consumption, which researchers noted can lead to improved animal welfare and weight gain."

@tymwol @nickofnz it doesn't have to take land - solar farms can co-exist with other land use, and apparently can actually help - check out #AgriVoltaics
It is true that too much of it comes from China.
We have very few producers in the UK. I bought a custom sized panel from them once, but couldn't get hold of them recently :(I also bought some from Austria.
I agree there should be more local choices.
The charge controllers and inverters I like come from America: https://www.morningstarcorp.com/
All the Chinese ones have been poor quality so far.

Argivoltaics place elevated solar panels on farmland, simultaneously producing energy, crops, and livestock. Farmers and advocates for energy equity are beginning to ask regulators in Washington state to relax controls. #agrivoltaics https://ow.ly/1TCh50YuXgR

It's not just sheep that like solar over farmland - solar panels provide farmworkers shelter from the sun and reduces fatigue:
'A recent study in Colorado USA found that farmworkers can also benefit. It spoke to workers and took various physical heat stress metrics, finding that the panels can help farms avoid conditions conducive to dangerous heat stress.'
