    so tracking isn't really working I guess it's a story about tracking solar

      The article doesn't mention tracking, why would you say it's not working?

      Slide 25 here shows that 99% of new utility installs in 2024 were single-axis trackers, because costs have fallen so far

      What's different about 2025?

        I don't know, it's a paywalled site.

          It's still completely unclear to me why you'd say an obviously false thing like "tracking isn't working." I was hoping you'd have some new information to back up such a claim, because that would be very useful!

          Paywalls are allowed on HN, but here's a workaround: https://archive.ph/teyKe
