Reading through the comments I do not see anything about the support structures required. If you have just a tilt tracker the solar panels can be mounted on a single pivot axis that could be simple hinges along one edge of the solar panel or a central pivot. Then all that is required is a single or double actuator to do the tilt.
The rooftop solar assessment process can be time consuming and expensive, taking anywhere between 1 hour to 2 full days to calculate the solar potential of each rooftop.
