Mike and Deith;

Let's hope when, and if, they build this plant, they "gangload" the units to "follow the sun" throughout the day. Otherwise the effort will be minimally effective.
The use of a small DC motor would cary the entire load if it were properly geared. Movement of 8 times per day would suffice to keep the panels focussed for direct sunlight on the panels, don't you think???
Course, thay'd have to be re-set each night for thenext morning.
