Do these installations just pick the best single angle and stick to it all year? It seems like you must be able to get a reasonable benefit by adjusting your panels say, once a month.

Yield from that isn't very big, and far outweighed by the cost of making the whole installation moveable. If you're going to put everything on a moveable frame anyway, it's better to have it servo-controlled so that it's at least adjusted continually.
