Could be. I guess it depends on how precisely the sun panels need to
be pointed at the sun. Most solar panels are fixed in position, on a
house top or whatever, just to generally catch the rays.
=======================
Yes to a fixed position due SOUTH ,but it means the panels will not
receive all that much energy or very little during the post noon daylight
hours .
It is debatable how much that is and consequently whether a rotating
system would be justifiable. However to find out and possibly advise
people ,after this test, how much more energy can be trapped ,I feel
setting up a rotating solar panel system is a worthwhile effort.
As an alternative to K8MN's suggestion a low cost (modified)satTV tracking
system might prove suitable.

It is generally agreed that by tracking the sun one gets approx 40% more
'energy' from ones solar panels. Accuracy is not important. 10-20 degrees
tracking accuracy is suitable.

I have updated my solar page if you are interested:
