A study by the University of Massachusetts Amherst titled "Assessing the Economic Viability of Dual axis Solar Tracking Systems in Carport Installations" (2021) provides a detailed economic analysis of dual axis solar trackers for carports. The study compares the costs and benefits of dual axis tracking systems to fixed systems and found that the dual axis systems resulted in a 14% reduction in the levelized cost of energy over the system’s lifetime. The study also notes the benefits of the dual axis system in adapting to changing weather conditions and optimizing energy production.
