Terrible article. Basically just comes down to "different locations will be apply to implement solar more efficiently by using different techniques".

Even for the spacing their findings are actually "between 4.83 and 7.34 meters" which isn't huge difference. Depending on the panel size a 7 meter gap could easily hold an entire additional panel.

The linked site is full of "articles" disguised as paid advertisement. You shouldn't even bother reading them.

Do you mean paid ads disguised as articles?

This is a brief summary of some NREL research linked in the article that anyone really interested in the details can go read.

Doesn't really matter if that erases your profit margin. It's niche techno-economic research to improve cost modeling efforts, you don't need to have some incisive perspective on the subject or complain that the studied effects aren't big enough to interest you.
