Most use a horizontal single axis configuration and could just tilt the panels away from the sun.

The real question that we should be asking, is why nobody can think of what to do with free energy?

It’s not a question of ideas, it’s a question of money. Building things to use excess power costs a lot of money.

In some markets, the power price actually goes negative and consumers can be paid to use energy.

I think there’s plenty of money out there to use excess power, someone just has to connect the dots…
