Is it that they're inefficient or harder to maintain?

[–] FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes. Heliostat's max efficiency estimates are like 70%, sun tracking panels 40%, static panels 20%.

20% for static panels is fine though because they are spamable. They are cheap and you can just put them on roofs and parking lots.
