In comparison with fixed systems, the construction of tracking systems is relatively complex. The costs are consequently higher and their sensitivity increases. Furthermore, space requirements are usually higher.
If these negative factors are converted into costs, it was often cheaper in the past to use fixed systems or single-axis trackers.
However, the development of the EcoChamp ST 3000 dual-axis tracker makes these negative aspects history and should result in the widespread market penetration of dual-axis trackers.
