Hi Dave,
I thought the advantage of Amorphous was low weight, mounting to curved surfaces, ease of mounting and power production at low angle/ cloudy day light and partial shaded conditions. Why go through all the trouble, expense and weight of a sun tracking system? Aren't sun following trackers generally for Crystalline panels more than Amorphous?
Just seems to go against why you would chose Amorphous over Crystalline in the first place.
Give me your view.
Regards,
Don

The kicker is shading, the poly-crystalline panel will die with anything but minimal shading, the Amorphous will take a pretty heavy shade and still produce and with reduced sun angle the Amorphous will still with the production battle... all in all, I'm making the change to the Amorphous 48 volt panel.. putting them in series on my 3 boats gives me the amperages that I want, and I do a little work I can get them on a sun follow mount while at anchor..
