Minnesota solar project set to replace retiring coal plant reaches 710 MW

In 2024 a tornado hit a solar field. I was wondering how the industry was responding to this.
Found this article.

Some solar trackers, for example, offer dynamic stow angles that adjust based on real-time weather conditions. Whether it’s high winds or hail, these trackers can optimize stow angle to minimize damage. A key feature of these systems is their ability to vary stow angles across a site, accounting for both complex weather patterns and diverse land contours.
I cannot find details on if these are fixed or tracking panels.
Also looking at the map, it doesn't seem like this is all one big facility, but distributed across a few miles.
