The gain you get from tracking is about like adding one extra panel, in many cases.
What you might want is to roof mount and be able to elevate one end of the panels,
to get the best angle on the sun (depending on time of year).

I had a branch fall on one of my ground-mounted panels and make some hair-line cracks..
They were invisible, but water got in and now the panel is starting to die..
