Also, solar trackers are a big deal for large farms when you start to scale above residential. Those trackers physically moving the panels to optimize generation are moving pieces.

this is sort of true, it depends on the array, but from what i understand, unless you're doing an experimental array, it's most common to just use fixed axis mounted panels, it's much cheaper and more cost effective that way. Ideally you would use a tracking array, which is better, but more complicated, and requires significantly more maintenance and investment. Single axis tracking arrays might be a clever solution to this problem though.

Regardless, it's not relevant to the grid inertia problem at hand.

I dont think this is true.
