The problem is that it's more expensive on a levelized cost of energy basis than solar and wind.
It might be more competitive if it can be paired with thermal storage, but AFAIK that's not demonstrates at scale yet.

But the CSIRO has a system where a camera looks at the mirrors from the tower and estimates quite well the mirror angle from the shade of blue reflected.
This makes it closed loop control, one sensor for many mirrors and simple actuation like lead screw with raise/lower controls possible.
