Sunflower-moving solar panels

Someone suggested to me that we make panels spherical to increase surface area and solar energy production. that won't work because half of the sphere will be covered by sun and half by shadow. I think it's better idea to make existing solar panels rotate with the movement of the sun like sunflowers do. follow the sun and stay constantly exposed to the most productive angle.
