Yes, my client has tested them for 2 years now.  We mount ours on a=20
gimbal (?), so that it always
stays level when the tracking PV array moves.

It turns out that here in Arizona you are required to measure the wind=20
speed and present a minimal load for the tracker, otherwise the footer=20
(concrete foundation) requirements are enormous. The  county engineer=20
measures our wind device and watches the shutdown before licensing the=20
site.
