Personally, I would regard the alignment as nonsense. Solar cells have become cheap enough that it doesn't pay off. Panels are simply plastered everywhere, and the periphery is more expensive. Even partial shading is either acceptable due to the interlacing or is no longer a problem with organic films

@Madhatter5566 A good argument 👍 However, as you say, I find that paving everywhere because it is so cheap is more of a disadvantage for environmental protection and also for energy production, as you don't get the same out of the things at every place at every time, so I had thought about remote places with as little solar as needed and getting the absolute maximum out of it by turning and tilting depending on the irradiation.

@RABINATOR That's true, but the readjustment also costs money. And it's one more component that can break.

In addition, the trend is to use the panels for two functions. For example, you can use them to build a fence. A facade. Or roofing. Since shading is more or less no longer an issue, readjustment is no longer really necessary. It used to be different
