X - No the $2,000 did not include any pv panels. The unit operated by running a stepper motor at preset intervals. All the castings were aluminum and nicely finished, the unit was intended for RV use, so folded flat for travel. My design experience and knowledge of mechanical devices lead me to believe it was a very well done unit. The problem with it of course was that simply by adding another 200 watt panel for $500 +/- you could get just as much power without tracking. So economically it made no sense, however If I could have bought one for the bragging rights .........hmmmmmmm.
